  What kind of apps are you installing? I’ve never ever had any issue with installing APKs on Samsung, you just have to allow the app that triggered it to install APKs one time and every subsequent time, it just works.

    In some regions, afaik, you just CANNOT install certain apps without adb, this in my experience includes: KDEConnect, Fdroid, Newpipe…etc. The list changes time to time.

      What region are you in if you don’t mind me asking? It works perfectly fine in Singapore.
