Users who use Apple devices should know that Apple** apps do not go through the web like Android**, and if you want to install apps on Apple devices, users can only do so in the App Store**, which is also Apple's only official app installation channel.
However, last year, the European Union issued the Digital Markets Act, which requires Apple to open up the iPhone sideloading app feature, which means that users can bypass the App Store and access third-party apps.
According to the relevant regulations, Apple will enable the sideloading feature next year, and according to the latest news, Microsoft may become one of the first companies to offer a third-party app store at Apple.
Bloomberg reports that Microsoft has confirmed that it is planning to provide a game app store for iOS, through which some games, apps, and more will be available**.
Apple's opening of sideloading is expected to be in early 2024, but it should only be for the European Union, and other regions should not be able to open sideloading.
For users, it is more convenient to open sideloading just **application, but it may also bring security risks, so we still need to pay attention to the application of sideloading**.
