      “Sideloading” isn’t a thing. That’s a term to shame and discredit people and apps installed outside of the official stores. Just like people got shamed by “jaywalking” for merely crossing the street. Both of those things were, are, and always should be the norm.

        …where ever did you get that idea from?

          Because it isn’t real. You aren’t “sideloading”. You’re simply installing apps. You’re not doing anything different, other than using a source that the big company does not like.

            That didn’t answer my question.

            Sideloading just means you’re installing apps from outside the first party app store. Im not sure where youre getting the shame and discrediting from.
