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
Google is actually correct here for once. Signal is not offered on F-Droid, and its package name is org.thoughtcrime.securesms, not org.thoughtcrimes.securesms.
Only official places to download Signal are through the Google Play Store or their website (which self-updates).
I recommend checking the official website or the Play Store to ensure that you are downloading the latest and official version of the app.
"This app tries to spy on your personal data"
Don't get why Google would care but whatever.
Google is like your big brother. They will beat the shit out of you. But If anyone else tries to beat you they will kick their ass.
I'm on the apk from the signal website. This showed up for me as well.
I think this app is pretty bullshit, if you want something secure just use Element... https://element.io/download
Signal isn't even fully open source, there is an obscured closed source code to check if you are sending spam/scam which probably also allows them to read your messages. They are good coding and making protocols, but they are forced to leak any data to the USA by law and also forced to not say anything about this.
Ah, and Element is officially on F-Droid. No bullshits.
