How can I install Matrix on an android phone without using the Google Play store?
- ranger207 6y agoIt's on F-Droid.
- opan 6y agoF-Droid has Element and a few other Matrix clients available.
- nolim1t 6y agoThere is other clients available too. The protocol is essentially decentralized
- colllectorof 6y agoF-Droid is the best way for open source apps, but also most APKs are available outside of Play Store via websites like https://www.apkmirror.com/ https://www.apkmirror.com/. It's a bit of a risk to load apps like that, though.
- NeutronStar 6y agoIt's a different risk than having your app removed because google doesn't like it indeed.
- cft 6y agoHow do push notifications work when it's not intergated with Google Play?
- swiley 6y agoIt's a shame EV certs are so hard to get. APK signatures use certificates and we could use the already existing CA infrastructure to make app stores unnecessary but stuff didn't work out that way.
