Question Installing apps that are not compatible

[mbburns2003]

I just got my s24 ultra, and it will not allow me to install third party apps. I have enabled Installation of apps from unknown sources, but I keep getting the message that the app is not compatible with my phone. Is there any possible way to bypass this and install the app anyway?

From where did you get it?

What apps specifically?

Trying to download from where?

If the app is only 32bit & the developer never updated it to 64bit, it probably won't install on a newer device like a s24 Ultra.

@belodion I agree with him

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.

There's an Auto Blocker feature that blocks sideloading by default, but you should be able to turn that off: https://www.samsung.com/latin_en/su...axy-device-with-the-new-auto-blocker-feature/

However, the OP is saying that the error message is about incompatibility -- that is more likely to be related to the apks being for 32 bit apps. As mentioned above, the S24 line does not support 32 bit apps (much like Pixels).

Must be an old app, huh?

Ok thanks

Not happy with that
