    Question Installing apps that are not compatible

    I think Samsung only allows Aps that can be downloaded from Samsung Galaxy Store or Google Play Store. I installed "Open Camera" Gboard, Find Device, Wallpapers Calendar, Clock, Wallet from Google Play Store with no problems on a Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus. I also set Open Camera as default Camera.
