That’s the fascinating part to me. Installing thirdparty apps on iOS? Criminal, security circumventing, stability affecting. Installing thirdparty apps on macOS? Click the confirm button if you’re confident, I guess

I’d prefer not to lump the stupid with the smart. If people are stupid enough to install willy nilly that’s on them.

I’d prefer the choice.

Also, smh for thinking every app out there is some nefarious bit of code.

@ultratiem @dinckelman not every Apple users are savvy enough to differentiate. The malware threat is real.

On Android you have to explicitly allow installs from unknown sources and it warns you that it could make it possible to install malware. This has always been enough of a deterrent on Android and I don’t understand why the same can’t be true for iOS.
