Google has started a pilot program in India aimed at blocking certain sideloaded apps on Android devices. The initiative targets apps that violate Google’s policies or pose security risks. Sideloading, the practice of downloading apps outside official app stores, is common in India, and this move by Google is seen as part of its broader efforts to enhance security and user protection. The pilot has raised concerns over potential limitations on user control and the broader implications for Android’s open-source ecosystem.
