This one goes out tho those who own a Galaxy S22 Ultra or newer with good experience in apk files.

As you may or may know, we cannot install the Samsung Video Library directly from the Galaxy Store. However, I can install it from an apk source. As useful as it sounds, there's also this warning below, since apk may count as unknown app source.

To anyone who download apps from an apk source, is it really worth it? Have you ran into problems after official installment? I need to be sure so that my device and data don't suffer an problems.

There is absolutely nothing in the video library app that the gallery app does not already have. Just tap the three layered lines on the bottom right and tap videos to see your full video library.

If you don't understand what you're doing then you don't install apks from 3rd party sources on your phone.
