Social networking company Facebook is notifying users to download the software directly without providing updates to their “Facebook for Android” application through the Google Play Store.

Although these app updates are usually officially installed through Google Play, in the recent update process of Facebook, the Android software store is being bypassed. The social networking site described it as “experimental”, showing a number of subscribers an update message on Facebook software installed on Android devices, and clicking on it brings up the Facebook app update download screen.

This method will only work when connected to a WiFi network, so you will not have to incur increased internet bills due to your mobile data consumption. The feature will only be available on Android devices where the application “Sideload” means that the software can be installed from a source other than Google Play.

Facebook says it has taken this strategy to provide the best app to every user. But some things remain. First, whether the release of the update is in line with Google Play’s terms – Google has not yet commented on the matter.

In addition, Facebook has not explained where the problem is when the work is done from Google Play by clicking on the “Update” button of the Facebook application.

Apparently, Facebook’s live app update may seem like a “straight path”, but if it is valid, there is a possibility of loss at the consumer level. Because then other app developers can also bypass Google Play and start giving software updates. And what is the guarantee that the malware makers will not take this opportunity to destroy the security of the device by installing hacking tool updates in masked applications?
