So I sideloaded few apps that are already present in playstore. But whenever I go to my updates menu , I can see all my apps installed via playstore as well as side loaded. Is there a way to stop this?

      Don’t know why you’re downvoted, you’re right. Aurora is more private, secure, you can change your region to get region-locked apps, you can blacklist sideloaded apps, its FOSS - why would you continue to use the Google Play Store?

            TIL

            thanks for the tip. Don’t know how I hadn’t heard of this before.

            Edit: Aurora store doesn’t work for me. I have paid apps I care about

            Provides only base minimum features

            Can not download or update paid apps. Can not update apps/games with Play Asset Delivery
