Why cant i install any apps?

[Android Central Question]

I've been trying to install various apps from different sources which are not from play store. Once my phone downloads the app into my phone all i have to do is install them. However, once i select the app and scroll down to the install button. Its faded. And i cant press install. So i cant get the app.

Someone help me! Thank you

First off it is not really recommended that you install app from sources other than the Play Store, since you could download a malware app.

However, if you are sure of the what you are doing, then you can change the settings on your phone to allow apps From Unknown Sources.

Generally you need to go to SETTINGS >>SECURITY >>> UNKNOWN SOURCES

Welcome to Android Central! Also, certain apps with Screen Overlays can disable the Install button (like screen dimming apps). See this article: https://www.howtogeek.com/271519/how-to-fix-the-screen-overlay-detected-error-on-android/
