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
“This app tries to spy on your personal data”
Needless to say Google hates competition
I’ll just drop this here
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.
Yes. I had it too!
And I download directly from the website and it aelf-updates. Nothing but an annoyance.

That’s Signal.
“Thoughtcrime” shouldnt be plural at least its not on my version and for other posters on this thread
Turn off Play “Protect”.
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.
Droid-ify is just a different client for F-Droid. It should be safe and uses the same repositories
Just get a degoogled phone…
I generally agree, but in this case, Google Protect actually protected OP from installing a harmful app masquerading as Signal.
