While it is still possible to download third party apps, the process is a bit longer than it was previously. Now after trying to attempt one download of the APK required for the app to function, you will be asked to provide permission for this app to be download in the first place. Whereas previously this would have essentially worked by you giving permission and the app subsequently being downloaded quite easily with it being pretty much as simple as that and no more, now the downloader is forcibly closed after you have granted permission so you would have to start the process from the start once again with the permission having already been granted.
Some might think that this is a glitch and that Google wouldn’t make such a recognized part of Android work so poorly no but the fact of the matter is that the tech giant has responded to complaints about this sort of thing by saying that it is normal behavior and the system is pretty much just fulfilling functions that it has been designed to fulfill. This means that this is intentional which might be a problem for some people.
