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

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Droid-ify is just a different client for F-Droid. It should be safe and uses the same repositories
Actually, it uses more repos
Signal isn’t in the official Fdroid repos
I’m using droidify and couldn’t find signal in there either.
They could have added their own repos which is the concern here.
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.
Why?
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.
