Application Updates

Using /e/OS Applications
#1

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.

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 …

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