Therefore, make sure to read user reviews and ratings before installing any apps. There’s always a risk you’ll install one, even though Google is quickly uninstalling any such apps that manage to get past its safeguards. Additionally, sideloading apps should be done with caution, albeit it is best to not sideload at all.
