Before you rush to start downloading and installing things, it's important you know that sideloading apps removes the security protections that Google and Apple give you: Their app stores are carefully patrolled for malware, stalkerware , and anything that might try to steal your data or break your device. By installing unauthorized apps from alternative sources, you're sidestepping these safeguards.
Be very, very careful about which apps you choose to sideload—check and double-check the background of these apps and the backgrounds of the developers that make them.
In general, you should install apps outside of your phone's app store only if you have a very good reason to. And if you just read that thinking "Oh, I'll be fine, I don't need to do that extra research," you probably won't, and you really really shouldn't install it.
Sideloading apps on Android isn't particularly difficult, as long as you're cautious about what you install and take into account the security considerations we've mentioned above. That said, it can be a useful way of expanding what your phone is capable of. It also lets you play around with apps outside of the Google Play Store.
