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
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”
Needless to say Google hates competition
They hate the competition.
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.
org.thoughtcrimes.securesms specifically?
I may be wrong but isn’t the real one org.thoughtcrime.securesms, not “crimes”?It’s a fake copy of Signal
The actual package name is org.thoughtcrime.securesms, not org.thoughtcrimes.securesms
Also Google officially recommends Signal on the Android website last I checked, so I don’t see why Play Protect would flag it as malware
edit: attach screenshot of package name
edit 2: fix typo in package name (accidentally typed thoughcrime)
Thanks mate
I’m on the apk from the signal website. This showed up for me as well.
Maybe a botched version and goolag was triggered. On the safe side get rid of it.
Check the repo where it was downloaded.
Are you installing from Playstore or FDroid?
