I used to love Android but I want to move, and I don't know if it's the right thing. (lemm.ee)

I was an iOS supporter until iphone 5 then I discovered the beauty and freedom of Android.

To this day with Samsung s22+

But currently I am a bit tired, there is no android phone that I am passionate about, oneplus has given me nothing but problems, Samsung with exynos is a disaster (not to mention the new blockages at sideload and the green stripes on the display), I don't even want to go near all the other Chinese brands, and Nothing is not what it promised to be.

I want to go back to iOS but there are a few things holding me back:

  • how can sideload be managed on iOS? Are there modified apps like youtube, reddit?

  • I follow a lot of NSFW channels on telegram, discord and reddit itself, are there any problems on iOS? are there ways around this? (my girlfriend has iOS, and every time I want to forward an nsfw gif she doesn't see it)

  • surf the sea, is it complex on ios? Especially in terms of gaming?

TBH only yt, nsfw and modded apk keep me on android. Thanks a lot in advance

Wait WHAT BLOCKS ON SIDELOADING for Samsung?? I'm not in the loop

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago (15 children)

Normally it's blocked by default which is pretty easy to get around (It's just a setting toggle) but apparently Samsung added a second "safety" autoblocker to a recent update. (Which can also be turned off, so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, aside from being a mild inconvenience.) https://www.androidauthority.com/enable-sideloading-one-ui-6-1-1-3463446/

Interesting. I don't like this at all. Remember AT&T tried this with locked phones (or something like that I believe) where unknown sources was completely gone?

Ya it's not a good look of things to come, but so far it's not a huge issue (yet).

Not a huge deal now, but...I don't like this move...I don't like it AT ALL...
