Install from Unknown sources on Android



Android 8.0:
In Android 8.0 "Unknown Sources" option has been replaced by another option. Now when you would like to install an app (APK) with any app other than the Google Play Store, it will show you a popup and which will take to you “External Sources”. From there you can allow third-party apps installation permission for that app. So when you want to install an app in the future then installation will not be blocked for that app.
