All Android phones block side loading by default, do they not?
It's in the article : "Samsung’s Auto Blocker feature takes things a bit further.The feature, fully blocks the installation of apps from unauthorized sources, even if those sources were granted the
REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGESpermission."So this new update (assuming the update ads this too) i just got today should have killed my revanced apps?
I don't have a Samsung but I would imagine that this only blocks new installations and looks like that it can be easily disabled if you don't want it
