Originally I’ve download the signal app through playstore, but often it also get updates from Droid-ify(Fdroid client). Today its weird and I got this . Explain to me this.

On the Droid-ify the signal app is provided by: org.thoughtcrimes.securesms

    Didn’t notice the “droid-ify” part, whatever that is. Install apps from trusted sources like F-Droid or dev’s website and you don’t need Google to scan your phone and tell you what you can or cannot install.

      Droid-ify is just a different client for F-Droid. It should be safe and uses the same repositories

        I really like droid-ify. Its a nice, good-looking alternative to fdroid. Also I’d advice to use molly foss instead of the original signal app.

            Here what I replied to someone else:

            Fully foss dependencies, degoogled (doesnt require Google Play services), and further hardening to the app. And you can still keep your signal contacts since it is just a fork. Available through Accressant, fdroid, and github.

        Actually, it uses more repos

        Signal isn’t in the official Fdroid repos
