Side loading is a term that in the context of Android applications is well understood to be installing android applications that are not on the Play Store. It is not a synonym for downloading files to your computer system nor is it a synonym for moving files between two devices.

- least 5y agoYes, I suppose you absolutely can refute my point if you choose to discard the first half of my statement which specifies the scope. Words can have different meanings under different contexts, and I'm providing you that context, which is important for understanding what people are talking about here. Please stop being obtuse.
- croes 5y agoYou can just specify the scope as you like. It's about Windows mot about Android. Just because APK is an Android format doesn't change the context to Android.
