Google is taking the stress out of sideloading apps on Android phones with a new feature rolling out to Google Play Store.

What a week for Play Store. Google has been busy with its delete button, with multiple threats sneaking their way inside Android’s best secured app vault. Not a good look. And all this has come hot on the tail of the latest warning that Android is under attack.

Google is rolling out a 'Pause Play Protect' feature, allowing users to temporarily disable malware scanning for sideloaded apps, aiming to reduce the repetitive warnings encountered during mass installations.

Google Play Games lets you play Android titles on PC, but the search giant is now turning it into a Steam rival by offering PC games too.
