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

org.thoughtcrimes.securesms

It actually might not be, googling "org.thoughtcrimes.securesms" doesn’t get results.

thoughtcrimes vs. thoughtcrime


My question though is how this popped up in droidify, would someone need to manually add some special repo?

I missed that, thanks for pointing it out. The one without S is the correct one.

But that makes me wonder, how did OP not end up with two signal apps then?

Oh, that’s from the installer and not one of those warnings you get after opening apps. Makes sense.
