Hello @PhoneGuyYT  👋 

Samsung phone's nowadays are set to not allow apk files out of the box, unless a person decides to circumvent that safety feature by allowing these unsafe files.

If you perform a forum search you may find existing threads with some further help or guidence within that explains how to allow unsafe files. 

As Apk files can cause issues due them not being vetted on the Google Playstore,  and that they may hide sinister files i.e viruses etc it's advisable not to seek out using apk files. 

However it is your device and now your aware of the possible caveats of using apk files, if you was not before then I would suggest a Google Search. 

If i can be of any further help that does not involve apk files then please don't hesitate to ask  😎

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.
I'm here to help. " This is the way. "
