How To Install Third-Party Unknown Apps (APK Files) On Samsung Galaxy A14

In this video, let's take a look at how you can install unknown apps on your Samsung Galaxy A14.

Unknown apps are also called third-party apps or apk files. This is because they are from sources other than the known ones such as Google Play Store.

However, apps found on the Google Play Store stores are also apk files, just that they have actually been verified, certified and are safe. So, you need to give permissions before you can install unknown apps.

You can download apk files from sources that have a library of apk files and the website of the app developer. Once downloaded, the apk file is saved in the 'My Files' app of your phone and can be accessed from there.

DISCLAIMER: You need to be careful with unknown apps (apk files) from other sources. This is because some may be potentially harmful to you and your privacy and security.

Some Apk files are used for phishing and loading your device with malware that may cause you to lose your data, or just be hacked in general.

Be sure of the apk file you want to download as well as the source. This will help you greatly avoid potential misfortunes. If unsure, abort the installation.

There's a reason why the installation of unknown apps is disabled by default, so it is advisable to avoid this if you can. If this is not possible, get the apk from the app developer's website or from a source you trust.
