    To be fair, old people and less tech-savvy people would download apps from scammers giving them access to everything.

    I think this is a reasonable middle ground.

      There’s already a check where you have to allow an app to be installed from any source outside of the play store.

      I even question sketchy looking apps from the Google shop, so forcing me to wait a day to load something is just going to be obnoxious as hell for no real gain.

      They could instead allow people to enable a ‘high security mode’ to block things if the less savvy are a concern without forcing it on everyone else.

        I have to wait 24 hours and then do everything I do now. It’s quite literally the best middle ground. Help prevent scams, be inconvenienced for 24 hours, once.

        This isn’t age verification. That one can die in a pit of flaming tar.
