Might be talking about their "Advanced Protection Program": https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/


It would be interesting to know if the APP protections "bleed" from APP profiles to the regular kind when they're both on a given device.


I could be mistaken, but I'm not seeing a connection between that and third party app support.


> On your Android phone, only app installations from verified stores, like the Google Play Store and your device manufacturer’s app store, are allowed.


To be fair, from a security standpoint if you want *the highest security* allowing third party installers is one of the first things I would disable as well.


Oh, thanks, I somehow missed that line.
