    Everyone who installs apps outside of Google Play, already knows, that these apps are not verified by Google.

    In the best case it will be just a next annoying pop-up. However it’s such a straightforward idea, I think Google thought about it earlier and intentionaly won’t add this option.

      I had to go out of my way to install the app for my huawei watch after they removed it from the play store. Not only a popup like in other pkgs but also allow it in another menu. Security is not the reason Google wants this new restriction.

      This is very likely true. Samat is almost certainly engaging malicious PR.
