By default Samsung phones can only install apps from Galaxy store and Play store. But Samsung provides "More Security settings" in its security and privacy section in Samsung galaxy A15 5G.

 In this More Security settings we have a option of "install unknown apps" where we can select whether apps from other sources can be installed or not and we can allow sources given in the list.

Screenshot 2:

All listed sources denied to install Unknown Apps.



But there is a Loop hole after the update, Despite of denying all the sources listed here I am able to install the Unknown Apps APK from the Samsung Internet Browser meanwhile I am not able to install the same APK from the Samsung Files.

Samsung Browser allows to install this unknown app (tap tap) even after denying from this above mentioned setting. 

Screenshot 4:

Samsung Files don't allows to install this unknown app (tap tap) after denying from this above mentioned setting. 

This setting is used to make sure that you won't be able to install Unknown App APK
from anywhere after denying all the listed sources but here I am able to install the same apk from the Browser even after denying it from this setting. 

While this setting is working well in Chrome

Its ment to not allow any sources to install unknown apps after denying it but its allows Samsung Internet Browser to install it.
