00:00Warning: This video does not share external links to video games or related audiovisual content.
00:08Our goal is simply to share news and information about emulators and how they currently work.
00:30Hey guys from Mortal Games, as always bringing you the best and worst of emulation.
00:40Today we have some great news that will possibly drive the emugaming community around the world completely crazy.
00:48It has finally been confirmed that Google has taken a step back from the destruction and annihilation of emulators for Android mobile devices.
00:58Today we're going to see an incredible report which gives us the glimmer of hope we've all been waiting for.
01:05Because 2026 was supposed to be the apocalypse for mobile apps.
01:09Anyway, without further ado, let's begin. Let's get to the news.
01:14You may have heard about it and seen those news reports.
01:16Basically, Google is stating that yes, apps on its platform, as well as external apps, are compatible.
01:25They were going to be impossible to install on mobile devices from 2026 onwards.
01:29Well, it seems Google has taken a step back.
01:32The reason, of course, is not because they wanted it, since every company wants to have absolute power.
01:38The reason: community pressure.
01:40And mind you, I'm talking on a global level.
01:43This would confirm what I've been saying for many, many years now.
01:46If the gaming community united as it should, companies wouldn't abuse their policies and their fans.
01:56Or rather, of their clients.
01:58But since we are divided like sheep, each one has his favorite company.
02:02On many occasions they have abused us with their nefarious policies.
02:06But that's not the point.
02:08The issue is that Google has already taken a step back.
02:11And today I'm going to share this information with all of you.
02:13Listen, the news says the following.
02:16Breaking news: Google is easing new restrictions on installing third-party apps on Android.
02:23And well, as I told you here a few seconds ago.
02:26The reason: pressure from the community at large.
02:30Let that be perfectly clear.
02:31He continues mentioning it.
02:32Google will allow experienced users to install Android apps created by unverified developers.
02:39Let's see what the report has to say.
02:41Pay attention to this, it's very important.
02:43Attentive.
02:43At the end of August, Google announced a major change to Android.
02:48Which angered many enthusiasts and independent developers.
02:52Starting next year, 2026.
02:55Android will prevent users from installing apps from unverified developers.
03:00The announcement provoked a negative reaction from advanced users.
03:04Those who believe that the new restrictions would put an end to the installation of applications from external sources.
03:10Or rather, basically with all the emulators that we currently know of.
03:14Today, Google announced a major concession to appease these users.
03:20The company says it is developing a new advanced flow.
03:24This will allow experienced users to assume the risks of installing unverified software.
03:30Boom, gentlemen.
03:32Intergalactic bombshell.
03:34Why do they do it?
03:35Because they know very well that if they don't back down, these people are going to leave their platform.
03:41And these people are going to stop consuming their system.
03:43It's that simple.
03:45A word to the wise is sufficient.
03:47We continue.
03:48An easier way to install unverified applications.
03:52Hopefully.
03:53In a post, Google states that this new advanced flow is aimed at developers and users.
03:59Pay attention here.
04:00Advanced individuals who have a higher tolerance for risk.
04:03And they want to be able to download unverified applications.
04:06It is our right, of course.
04:08We have the right to decide, right?
04:10Good.
04:11The company explains that it is designing this flow specifically to avoid coercion.
04:15And to ensure that users are not tricked into bypassing these security checks under pressure from scammers.
04:23The flow will include clear warnings.
04:25To ensure that users fully understand the risks involved.
04:29Installing apps from unverified developers.
04:32But ultimately, the final decision rests with the user.
04:36As it should be, of course, from the beginning.
04:39Google indicates that it is currently gathering initial feedback on the design of this feature.
04:44And will share more details in the coming months.
04:47We'll have to be very careful, guys.
04:49Although Google has not revealed how this new process will work.
04:53It is expected to be simpler than using ADB to install applications.
04:58Prior to this announcement, the only known method for installing apps from unverified developers was to use ADB.
05:05A simple but tedious method for experienced users.
05:07Tools like Shizuku would have allowed installing applications via ADB.
05:12Without needing a computer.
05:14Therefore, I am glad that users no longer have to resort to such cumbersome methods to install the software they want.
05:20And there it is.
05:21Big news!
05:22Of course, I repeat myself once again.
05:24These bastards aren't doing it, okay?
05:26By divine inspiration.
05:28No.
05:29This is due to user pressure.
05:31And they know very well that they are taking a risk if they don't do it.
05:35They know very well that they could lose millions of dollars.
05:38That's the reality.
05:39Don't go thinking that Google is a good person or a good person.
05:42Let that be perfectly clear.
05:44I continue mentioning.
05:45Now, pay attention to this.
05:46Google also announced today that it would invite developers who distribute exclusive apps outside of the Play Store to join early access programs for developer verification.
05:57Well, I think it's an interesting alternative.
05:59Although, honestly, it's not necessary, okay?
06:01It depends on how people want to distribute their apps.
06:04So, what is the justification for all this?
06:06Listen.
06:07Finally, the Google blog post reiterated that its justification for implementing these new developer verification requirements is security.
06:16Companies seek to protect fraudulent users, who often employ social engineering tactics to trick them into installing malicious software from sources outside of a trusted app store.
06:29Mentioning that this would be a growing trend in Southwest Asia.
06:33Since many people have claimed to have suffered from this type of case and have had their bank accounts compromised.
06:40Well, let's be honest, that is true, okay?
06:43It's not a lie.
06:43But, taking such an extreme measure, I believe is not viable, it is not an option.
06:51I believe that everyone should have the freedom to choose what type of app to install or stop using.
06:59Or simply not install it.
07:01That's the reality.
07:01So, gentlemen, in conclusion, to avoid making a big deal out of it, okay?
07:05On this topic.
07:07Yes, Google took a step back.
07:09I consider it a Solomon-like measure for them, of course.
07:13Because otherwise there would be consequences.
07:14I can just imagine what would have happened here in 2026.
07:17And well, basically they just saved their skins.
07:20Because I had already heard that people in 2026 were about to organize boycotts for that year.
07:24Finally, on its official blog, Google left a very important message, which confirms this news.
07:32Listen, it says the following, empower experienced users.
07:38That's what they've titled it.
07:39While security is crucial, Google says, we've also heard from developers and advanced users who have a higher tolerance for risk.
07:49And they want the ability to download unverified applications.
07:53Based on your feedback and our conversations with the community, we are developing a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to assume the risks of installing unverified software.
08:08We will share more information over the next few months.
08:12And that's how this message would end, guys.
08:15Confirming the news we saw a few minutes ago.
08:18And well folks, that's it.
08:20Basically, this would be the information.
08:22Today, November 14, 2025, is a great day.
08:27Android emulation has been saved.
08:29And well guys, that's it.
08:31Basically, this would be the news.
08:33And what do you think?
08:35I would sincerely like to know your personal opinion on this.
08:38Because your opinion matters to me.
08:39Before we end the video, I want to remind you that today we're going to update emulators.
08:44I'll leave all the information in the first comment.
