Hi,
I cannot use anymore Signal & Whatsapp applications because it says I don’t have the lastest version. But when I go my app store, it doesn’t find any update to do. Is it normal ? What can I do to have again access to those two app ?
Thanks,
Stéphane.

Hey,
which version of /e/ are you using? Signal app is regulary updated on the /e/ version 1.4 via App Lounge.
Cheers
You will find some interesting points here:
You can install Aurora Store and then download signal v5.51.7 same version on Google Play Store.
First install F Droid:

Then search for Aurora Store:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.aurora.store/
And then search in aurora store the Signal app.
With this you will have the latest Signal version
PS: If you don’t want to use FDroid you can install Aurora Store from AppLounge
…or use Langis:
Langis (Signal application modified to no longer depend on Google Play Services (see description for more details))

Thanks a lot !
I succeed to update the app by Aurora.
I did check the version /e/ I have and it’s still the version 0.9 … but it don’t propose me to update it to v1.4 ?

It’s depands of your device. Which phone do you use ? Which android version ?

It’s a Fairphone 3, android 9.
The last Android 9 version was 0.23, this is what you should get offered in the updater.
For Android 9, this would be the end then, for now …
Murena stopped supporting Android 9 (P) and is still working to make an OTA (i.e. through Settings > System Update ) upgrade to Android 10 (Q) and/or Android 11 (R) available:
FP3
Pie to Q OTA upgrade
Q to R OTA upgrade
To confirm if we can have a Pie to R upgrade
Release dates would be after the s8/s8+ OS OTA upgrade
The only way to speed up things for you would be a new install (Q or R) from scratch.

Just for information, besides Langis you can also use Molly FOSS if you don’t want to depend on Google (or at least MicroG):
