All Android phones block side loading by default, do they not?

It's in the article : "Samsung’s Auto Blocker feature takes things a bit further.The feature, fully blocks the installation of apps from unauthorized sources, even if those sources were granted the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission."

So this new update (assuming the update ads this too) i just got today should have killed my revanced apps?

This is only for phones that come with One UI 6.1.1 by default and there's a page during OOBE setup with a toggle for this "feature".

An update to your existing phone will not turn on this block, it's only for new phones.
