Installation
Which installation method should I use?
Which app you should use depends on your privacy preferences and how often you wish to receive updates:
- If you are able to use Google Play, use it.
- If you're not able to use Google Play, sideload an APK from this repository.
- If neither of these options work for you, install the app from F-Droid.
For each build ("version") of the app, there are timelines for when the build will be available, so methods with longer timelines will result in longer wait times for updates.
| Google Play | Sideloaded APK | F-Droid | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Availability | A few minutes | A few minutes | Up to 14 days |
F-Droid takes much longer than any of the other methods because they have a human involved in the process, each app is signed by a human on a computer that is air-gapped (not connected to the internet).
