It isn’t. People in these comments have zero clue as to what they’re talking about. Sideloading is no worse than downloading a program on your computer. If you use your brain, you won’t get a virus. What a surprise!
You can! You don’t even need to wait or pay for anything, you can have PPSSPP and any other emulator on your phone in a matter of minutes.
You won’t get that even if you sideload, lol. Have fun paying a monthly fee to be able to watch YouTube videos without being bombarded by cancerous ads, though! I’m enjoying the ad-free experience with my sideloaded YouTube app, all the while being “break-in”-free since the day I first downloaded an emulator.
No, it’s not. I don’t think you really know anything about sideloading if you think it’s right.
I’ve sideloaded for 10 years or so and my phone has not been infected. It’s not that dangerous. Clearly most of the comments here have no experience or knowledge about sideloading.
Because some people refuse to pay for YouTube Premium just to be able to watch videos or listen to music on YouTube. Some people want to download emulators. Others might want to be able to save videos and stories from apps like Tiktok or Instagram. Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean there’s no reason.
Download an emulator and find out. You don’t need to wait. You can use AltStore which is free, or pay for a signing service like Signulous which, in my opinion, is worth the $20 yearly fee. With AltStore you need to refresh the certificate every 7 days which is relatively easy, whereas with Signulous you don’t have to do anything.
I’ve sideloaded for ages and never got any spam emails or phone calls because of it. I do of course get some spam, I’m sure most people do, but to me that’s just a normal part of being active online. Never in my life got a spam call because my number isn’t publicly available.
And by the way, there are no App Store versions of emulators or cracked apps such as YouTube, which is the main reason I sideload. I don’t use my emulator that much, but I use my cracked YouTube app every single day because it has no ads.
What do you mean by “iOS wholly and completely rejects any apps that aren’t signed by Apple”? I have sideloaded for ~10 years and still do so to this day. My apps work perfectly fine and it’s been years since I’ve had any issues with licenses getting revoked etc.
I sideload because I fucking hate ads on YouTube, and it’s literally impossible to use the official app without losing brain cells from the endless ads. I also like being able to have emulators on my phone, which is something I’ve been doing since around 2013.
Can you not wear glasses or contacts? Or is legally blind too bad for any of those options? Honest question.
