Google to Add Security Layer for Sideloading Apps on Android

Google is working on a new feature to make sideloading apps on Android safer.

Sideloading means installing apps from sources other than the Google Play Store.

Google wants to check if the apps you sideload are from real developers.

This new feature will need an internet connection to verify the developer.

If you don't have internet, the Play Store will show a message saying it can't verify the app.

Google is not trying to stop people from sideloading apps but wants to give them an extra layer of security.

This will help users feel safer when installing apps from outside the Play Store.
