Signal on F-Droid

Apps

what’s the reason they don’t want Signal in F-Droid?

  • Signal only wants official builds of Signal to connect to Signal servers
    • F-Droid only includes apps it can build from source
    • F-Droid does not ship apps that their creators don’t want shipped
  • Signal client contains multiple proprietary libraries
    • F-Droid does not ship proprietary software
  • Signal server is “code over the wall” open-source

This means Signal cannot be shipped on F-Droid.

I encourage you to try XMPP:
