Google is enhancing the Play Store to allow users to receive updates for sideloaded apps directly from the Play Store. A new feature, "Update from Play," will notify users that they can update sideloaded apps either from the original source or from Google Play. Users on Android 14 may receive a warning that updating from a different source could alter the app's functionality. The Play Store will display available updates for apps from various sources, transferring update responsibility to the Play Store while maintaining users' ability to sideload apps. Google is not banning sideloading but is implementing measures to ensure users are aware of potential risks and changes in functionality when updating from different sources.
