ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sideloading

Sideloading is the process of installing an app onto a device (like your phone or tablet) that doesn't come from the official app store. You can do this by downloading the app from another app store, or from the internet and then transferring it to your device. It's like putting an app in your pocket that wasn't already in there.
