Your mum would be tech-savvy enough to enable "allow ipa from untrusted sources" buried deep in the settings? That's how it works on Android. I believe the main problem with android is, that there are tons of old devices not receiving any security updates.
It's close to impossible, that my mum figures out how to install an untrusted apk on her Samsung s22.
I guess what I want to say is: Having good security should not prevent you from installing custom software if you want to.
- hayst4ck 3y agoMy mom can barely use the app store. The side-loading debate is an indirect reference and to talk about side loading it must first be decomposed. Question 1 is should Apple be able to prevent an engineer from running software they want on their phone? Probably not. Question 2 is should Apple be able to prevent a layman from running software they want on their phone with effort? Debatable. Question 3 is should Apple be able to prevent a layman from running software they want on their phone easily? I think so. Question 4 is should Apple be able to prevent an alternative app store? Yes. Definitely. So should side loading be allowed depends greatly on which question a person is asking and what the "sideloading" reference is pointing to. Should I be able to choose what medicines I want to take without a pharmacist/MD? I have a hard time with this because I think I should be able to ingest whatever I want and I think I am more intelligent than the average person, on the flip side, I think if I were a pharmacist, I would say absolutely not. If you asked me if anyone should be able to take any medication they want without blessing, I look at the ivermectin debacle and realize "probably not."
