How to enable permission to install apps from unknown source on my Samsung phone?

Last Update date : 2023-06-11

Your Galaxy phone or tablet is configured by default to prevent the installation of apps from sources other than the Play Store and Galaxy Store. However, if necessary, you can modify this option. Please be advised that there may be an increase in security threats.

Follow the steps given below to allow app installs from untrusted sources:

1 Navigate to Install unknown apps.

Navigate to Settings. Search for and select Install unknown apps. Then, tap Install unknown apps again.

2 Allow permission.

Tap the source that you want to allow app installations from, such as Chrome. Then, tap the switch next to "Allow from this source" to give permission.

3 Try to install the app.

You could be given the choice to enable Google to check the security of installed apps when using your phone or tablet. This setting may still prohibit the installation of applications even if it is enabled. 

If this happens, try returning to the application or file you want to install and try again.
