Today I got this POP-UP, anyone?

Originally I've download the signal app through playstore, but often it also get updates from Droid-ify(Fdroid client). Today its weird and I got this . Explain to me this.

On the Droid-ify the signal app is provided by: org.thoughtcrimes.securesms

Turn off Play "Protect".
- In most cases I'd be the first to support your idea.
  
  but here it actually blocked malware?
  
  Didn't notice the "droid-ify" part, whatever that is. Install apps from trusted sources like F-Droid or dev's website and you don't need Google to scan your phone and tell you what you can or cannot install.
  
  Droid-ify is just a different client for F-Droid. It should be safe and uses the same repositories
  
  I really like droid-ify. Its a nice, good-looking alternative to fdroid. Also I'd advice to use molly foss instead of the original signal app.
  
  They could have added their own repos which is the concern here.
  
  Actually, it uses more repos
  
  Signal isn't in the official Fdroid repos
  
  I'm using droidify and couldn't find signal in there either.
  
  Lol what are you talking about.
- Don't, in this case it's actually blocking a fake app correctly.
