Google CEO Warns Android
Phone Users: Don’t Ignore It!
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia –The debate over the sideloading mechanism is becoming increasingly contentious, especially from a security perspective. On the one hand, sideloading provides users with the freedom and flexibility to access apps created by developers outside the official app store.
On the other hand, without the curation and protection of the official app store, there are lurking security risks. Recently, Google CEO Sundar Pichai warned Android phone users not to sideload apps on their devices.
In fact, Android phone users have long been “spoiled” by the sideloading mechanism. This is in contrast to the iPhone, which has long been known for its strict restrictions on sideloading.
