(*Note: This step defends users from social engineering and coaching scams. The restart cuts off any remote access or active phone calls a scammer might be using to watch what you’re doing. The 24-hour waiting period prevents fraudsters from pressuring victims into making immediate security changes while on a live call and gives users time to verify the request independently. )* 
5. After 24 hours, return to the “Apps from unverified developers” page to continue setup.
6. Finally, choose whether you want to **turn the setting on for 7 days or indefinitely**.

After enabling the advanced flow, you will have the option to install or update apps from unverified developers. You’ll still see a warning when you try to install or update an app from an unverified developer, but you can just tap “**Install anyway**.”

If for whatever reason you need to temporarily disable the advanced flow, you have a 10-minute window to re-enable it without going through the 24-hour waiting period again.

# Frequently asked questions about the advanced flow

* **Are ADB installs impacted by the 24-hour waiting period for advanced flow?** 
* Apps installed via ADB won't require Android developer verification. The waiting period does not apply to ADB installs.
* **Do I need to keep Developer Mode on to keep this verification turned off? Some apps (e.g. banking, etc.) won't let me use it if I have Developer Mode on.** 
* No, you don't have to keep developer options enabled after you enable the advanced flow. Once you make the change on your device, it's enabled.
* **Can I still use independent app stores?**
* Yes. You can continue to use any alternative app store. For apps distributed from verified developers, users won't see a change in their download experience at all. For apps distributed from unverified developers, users can enable advanced flow with a one-time setup.
* **Can I update unregistered apps if I disable the advanced flow?** 
* Unregistered apps can only be installed or updated when the advanced flow is enabled or by using ADB so if the advanced flow is disabled updates to unregistered apps will fail.
* **Can I update existing unregistered apps on my device without the use of the advanced flow and/or ADB?** 
* No. Unregistered apps can only be installed or updated when the advanced flow is enabled or by using ADB so if the advanced flow is disabled updates to unregistered apps will fail.
* **I can’t find the advanced flow setting. When will I get it?**
* Advanced flow is rolling out gradually, so not all users will see it immediately. As part of this, a new system service called Android Developer Verifier will be installed on your device. You can manually install from [this Play Store page](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.verifier) which may help you see the feature sooner
