siteadmin November 17, 2023

The key difference between iOS and Android is Android’s ability to sideload apps. Apple doesn’t permit this due to concerns over user safety, and potential malware infecting devices. However, the EU’s Digital Markets Act could force Apple to enable sideloading across the 27 EU member nations. Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, advises against sideloading due to the risk of compromising phones and safety.
