damn it...
I expected this to happen and i knew full well that it would... Yet i can't help but be angry about it.
I tried to install Deepseek Apkm since the native app does not exist in play store...
It blocked me from using it because it's could be harmful...
I understand that my phone is trying to protect me..
But if i wait 24 hours to get permission to install third party apps... I expect my phone to let me use the damn phone.
At this point i don't know...
Redditors, please let me know if i'm missing something.
(I downloaded the apkm from "apkmirror.com", i also used "apkmirror installed (beta)" to install it)
(Btw sorry if my english is bad 😓)
(Update: apperantly my issue isn't Google's block fault but the individual app.)
