Explanation

Side-loading refers to installing applications on a mobile device from outside the manufacturer's official app store, using package files such as Android's .apk format. In this case, the user places .apk files on a MicroSD card and installs them directly. Side-loading bypasses the app store's security vetting process and typically requires enabling 'Unknown Sources' in Android settings. It is commonly used for apps unavailable in the official store or for enterprise deployments.
