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

    Needless to say Google hates competition

    The package name is correct, but signal was never on F-droid.

    Do you have a third party repo that might be compromised?

    Edit: Package name isn’t correct, so that’s almost definitely a compromised version. Get rid of it ASAP.

      In most cases I’d be the first to support your idea.

      but here it actually blocked malware?

        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.

            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.
