We have Android 7.0 Nougat in its Developer Preview 5 what is it really the prelude to the official launch of this larger version that will arrive in the form of an OTA for next month if everything goes as Google has planned and devised. As often happens in these releases of new previews for developers, there are small details that really tend to carry a lot of substance in them.
One of the peculiarities of Developer Preview 5 is that in Android 7.0 Nougat you will be able to know from the app information the origin of its installation. You go to Settings> Applications and in the desired app you will find at the end of all the data that shares the information about the original source to know if it was from the Play Store or from an APK.
So if you installed the APK of Pokémon GO and want to confirm that it was so, go to the information of the app in the settings and you will be able to know immediately if you installed it from the Play Store or confirm that it was actually an APK. An interesting detail that offers information that can come in handy in certain circumstances.
Although at the moment the conspiracy is already beginning to be launched from different voices that claim that this detail may have to do with an Android future where the loading of APKs is not allowed and only from official stores, such as the Play Store or Amazon. , the installation of applications is allowed. Anyway, this seems pretty weird and rather it seems to us that this detail has to do more to really know the origin of the installation of an app.
Put yourself in the event that a family member has not been doing well with their phone since they installed Pokémon GO. Since the game was installed by a friend, he really knows little about what happens, so if he was running Android 7.0 Nougat, you could know in a moment if the game has been installed from the Play Store or from an APK of dubious origin.
