flag Google to enforce 24-hour wait for unverified Android app sideloading from August 2026 to combat fraud.

flag Google is rolling out a 24-hour waiting period for sideloading unverified Android apps starting in August 2026, requiring users to confirm they aren’t being coerced, restart their device, and wait before installing apps from outside the Google Play Store. flag The change, part of a new "advanced flow," aims to reduce malware and scam risks, especially in regions vulnerable to fraud. flag Users can bypass the delay for seven days or indefinitely after setup. flag Verified developers are exempt, and Google is introducing low-cost developer accounts for hobbyists. flag The update is part of broader security improvements to protect users while maintaining access for legitimate use cases.
