Understand the Android source prompt for COME APK

An Android installation-source prompt concerns the app opening the APK, such as your browser or file manager. Review that source before allowing installation.

Identify the requesting app

Read the prompt heading and the source application's name. If you downloaded in a browser but opened the file through a file manager, Android may name the file manager. The permission belongs to that source; it is not a general approval of every file bearing the COME name.

Make a narrow decision

Only consider the requested source permission after checking where this particular file came from. Menu wording varies across Android versions and manufacturers. Do not enable several unrelated apps because one prompt appeared, and do not change a managed device's restrictions without its administrator.

Keep protection separate

Google Play Protect provides checks distinct from the installation-source setting. Leave it enabled. A harmful-app warning is a reason to stop and follow Android guidance, not an invitation to switch off protection or find a less restrictive installer.

A useful next step

Continue only when the source and file are understood; review source permissions again after the installation task is finished.
