Take for example the process of downloading WhatsApp on your device. WhatsApp can be downloaded directly from its page to your device using this simple process. All you should do is visit the site, click on the link provided and continue to download the app store on your mobile phone.
This process will give you access to the app, and all left for you to will be clicking on file manager to have it installed. Another way to install an app is through the online APK installer. To install through this process, visit the APKInstall website. You will come across a Browse Files option on the left. After this, a QR Code will automatically appear on the website. You will have to scan the code with camera or barcode scanner on your phone and once the scanning gets done, just click on the link and download the APK file on your device.
Once downloaded, all you have to do is go to the File Manager of your device and start installing the App on your phone. Try any of these ways, and you will have the chance to download that app that has proven difficult to find in the Google Play Store.
Downloading and installing apps outside of Google Play Store has been made accessible through all the mentioned processes. The key to protecting yourself is staying away from sketchy app stores, and only downloading software from Google Play. Android's open-source status makes it easily accessible to developers, but also leaves the door open for malicious apps.
Apple's App Store isn't immune from this issue, but it's much less severe. Google carefully vets the products in Play to make sure they're safe. Rotten apps do slip through on occasion, but the company is fairly quick at removing anything problematic.
And malicious apps aren't a minor threat. When you get your apps from somewhere other than the official stores, well, instead of just not getting the real thing you could lose your money, lose your personal information.
One problem confronting Android in particular is the broad range versions, and manufacturer-imposed "skins" on top of those versions, in the wild. Nearly half of current Android users are on devices running Android 4. However, updates for the app may require the option to be enabled again. The Play Store downloads and installs them automatically for you. When using the sideloading technique, you will have to find a suitable repository.
If you use one, be sure to exclude your download folder or APKs in general. In closing, the potential risks of installing third-party applications are why Android does not allow you to download files from unknown sources by default. Google Play Store is still the most reliable way to get your apps, but it is not bulletproof when it comes to security.
Regardless, you may not have a choice if you are looking for an app that is not available on the Play Store. To download the apps, simply locate the one that you want and tap the download icon. Then, you will find the application in your app drawer. The Android operating system has a lot of functionality.
Especially when it comes to installing applications.
