The message "This app cannot be installed due to system policy" usually means your phone's security settings are preventing the installation of apps from unknown sources (apps not downloaded from the official Google Play Store). This is a safety feature to protect your device from potentially harmful software.

Here's what you can do to rectify it:

  1. Enable "Install unknown apps" for Xender:

    • Go to your phone's Settings.
    • Search for "Install unknown apps" or "Special app access" or "Apps & notifications" > "Special app access".
    • Find Xender in the list.
    • Tap on Xender and toggle on the option to "Allow from this source" or "Install unknown apps".
    • After enabling this, try installing the app again through Xender.
  2. Temporarily disable Google Play Protect (if step 1 doesn't work):

    • Open the Google Play Store app.
    • Tap on your profile icon (top right).
    • Select Play Protect.
    • Tap the Settings icon (gear icon) in the top right.
    • Toggle off "Scan apps with Play Protect" and "Improve harmful app detection".
    • Try installing the app again. Remember to re-enable Play Protect after you're done installing the app for your phone's security.
