Why Signal is not in f-droid? Is there a statement from them about it? What I know is only in Google store . And talking to much about privacy and not being in a f-droid repo, is ironic

It’s available on F-droid through the Guardian Project repo.

They also offered their .apk directly through their site with an included downloader last I checked, but I would love it to on f-droid

actually, years ago there was a long drawn out drama about people in Signal’s team refusing to publish on F-Droid because of “security concerns” in Moxie’s time. IIRC they worked to take down builds on the main repo

you can probably still find the old github threads with the lenghty discussions

I didn’t know, Thanks for the info . Well nowadays f-droid is a standard for privacy . They should reconsider
