My signal app the other day had 2 seperate, a few days apart, updates from the app itself. Asking for install from unknown sources to check in the settings to be checked. Doing this outside of both stores which usually update the app from F droid or Aurora.
Seems odd that the signal app itself asked to update itself from a notification from the drop down menu. How can I make sure it has not been compromised? Anyone else experienced something of the sort?
Not native Signal but it happens with Signal forks that I install after adding repository to F-Droid, I have had a notification of a Signal update, even though I’m not using native Signal.
I disable that notification in the phone app settings and wait for an F-Droid notification of an update to install.
So you don’t think it’s something to be concerned about? I turned off install from unknown sources. App store F-Droid says it’s up to date.
I’m completely open to hearing why the Signal update notification is a concern. I don’t worry about it but you may know something that I am not seeing.
