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

In most cases I'd be the first to support your idea.

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

I really like droid-ify. Its a nice, good-looking alternative to fdroid. Also I'd advice to use molly foss instead of the original signal app.
