On Android you have to download the app, open it, navigate a dialog with no Next or OK buttons (it requires you to toggle on a permission switch for the application you are using out of a list of applications) and then go back and try again, then click install. If you are doing all of that, you are very determined to install that malware. I don't think protecting against that is worth denying everyone else the freedom to use their device as they see fit.
- TheHappyOddish 3y agoI'm going to assume you're coming from a place of ignorance here. A significant portion of people (often > 50) will absolutely follow this process if guided maliciously. Many people are incapable of grokking a warning message, as using a misunderstood device already sets their anxiety high. I'm not saying Apples method is necessarily the right method, but stating that these people aren't worth protecting - or at least not worth protecting at the cost of opening up a device you bought knowing it was closed and had alternatives for - comes across as callous as best.
