Any Android device by default does not allow apps to be installed from untrusted developer or sources for security reason. Even if you get an app transferred from your friends or colleagues device cannot be installed without enabling the settings on your device.
As mentioned above, when you click on install from the Google playstore the app gets installed to your Android device without any interaction required. Except after installing you will have to provide required access for the apps. Here I am letting you know how to install Android app from untrusted developer.
