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

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.

To add to that:
Always check the projects’ website to see the official ways it’s distributed, before you just download it from anywhere.
Not applying for signal though, as their apk site is hidden away
Not a fan of that either, that really is unfortunate. But with a bit of common sense, a person should then ask about that, if the Play Store is not an option. It’s still not a reason to download it from a source you haven’t verified to be official
Or just use Molly
No thats absolutely a reason. Signal is 100% to blame that they have no fully FOSS code repository that could then simply be compiled by FDroid and shipped there.
Instead I have to rely on some Dude I know nothing about, Twinhelix could just as well spread Malware. But I like my updates through FDroid, I like a blob Free Signal
It actually might not be, googling
"org.thoughtcrimes.securesms"doesn’t get results.thoughtcrimesvs.thoughtcrimeMy 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?
Twinhelix is the only one compiling the app from source without proprietary blobs
