boldsuck 100% free and open-source Molly-FOSS v7.1.3-1-FOSS from the Molly F-Droid repo
Click on your user icon twice to see Profile -> edit "About"

I use F-Droid Basic as Client.

I know you can make notes on your own profile. I meant changing profile names on your contacts and also make notes too which now Signal have that feature with version 7.2.4. I hoped Molly would update too. They say they update Molly every two weeks but its been 3 weeks now since last update.

      PMUSR we don't always follow the 2 weeks update schedule. Have a little patience pls

          Got it. Thanks for the latest update. Appreciate your work :)

          And to others using Molly. New update is available version 7.4.2-1. You can now change profile names on your contacts and also make notes to their profile too.

            Im new to using grapheneos and im trying to receive push notifications on my owner profile. I just installed Molly FOSS and the notifications are hit or miss. Should I install the other release of Molly or can anyone give me some guidance to receive notifications?

            Hello @Nuttso I just recently migrated over from Signal to Molly-UP, for better battery life and extra security features. I have a question though, in the GitHub repo is states:

            Contact deletion - Allows you to delete contacts and stop sharing your profile

            However, I remember seeing this option also within the official Signal client, if I'm not mistaken. Navigating to Pencil Icon > Long tap on a contact name > Remove -- Is there any difference, then, between this flow and the "Contact Deletion" feature within Molly?

            My apologies in advance if this is a silly (read: obvious) question. But I was just wondering. Thank you for your hard work!

              Another user wrote a thought provoking post about 2 aspects of using vanilla Signal.
              https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/15100-what-is-the-best-messenger-today/35

              To attempt to paraphrase briefly, their concerns are:

              1. Lack of the ability to toggle on/off compression and the stripping metadata from photos
              2. Lack of easy backup portability in vanilla Signal (portability as in, you can't easily view the contents of a backup using any other tool besides Signal or Signal forks)

              Curious to know if Molly does anything differently in these two regards?

                zzz you can't opt in the metadata. You can change the quality of the pictures being send in signal tho. As for backups nothing changed

                  Is it really worth to use Molly even if we use GrapheneOS?
                  I don't really remember what it is but some GrapheneOS features seems like to remove the need of some Molly features (RAM shredding, ...?) 🤔 can you help me with this ?

                  Nuttso Does Molly give out tutorial popups out to users?
                  I opened a picture a contact sended me. Then a popup appeared in the upper section of the screen. It was telling me how to swipe to exit the full screen few of the picture.
                  There was a button "got it", which I pressed.
                  Than somehow the popup appeared again and this time I did not press it.
                  It is confusing to me that I never had this kind of pop up in Molly before and I wonder if it might be part of a maleware attack from third party's.
                  So just to clarify I answer this question.

                    I'm curious if other Molly users have been experiencing this seeming bug. For about a month now, audio from my end of the call (i.e., my voice) cuts out intermittently during all calls whether on Speaker or Phone Earpiece. So much so that it had made calling not feasible with my contacts.

                    Some background:

                    • Device: Pixel 7
                    • OS: GrapheneOS (latest)
                    • App: Molly-UP

                    I'm aware that Molly-UP has been deprecated and UnifiedPush as a notification delivery service is now included in Molly and Molly-FOSS. I run my own instance of MollySocket and have been for over 6 months without any problems.

                    Today, I:

                    1. Uninstalled the now-deprecated Molly-UP.
                    2. Installed the latest Molly-FOSS by fetching the .apk via Obtainium.
                    3. Restored my account and chat backup.
                    4. Got the notifications working with my instance of MollySocket.

                    Despite the "brand new," fresh install, the "audio bug" persisted :(

                    It was then when I decided to manually enable Exploit protection compatibility mode. Voilà, the audio works perfectly and is crystal clear!

                    My questions are: Molly has always worked great without needing to have that option that weakens app security. Why is this necessary now? Have others experienced the same issue?

                    I would like to find the cause of the problem, and; hopefully, turn Exploit protection compatibility mode off again. Any input or help is greatly appreciated!

                      lordiont you should file a bug report on the Molly Github. This is unlikely to be caused by GrapheneOS but rather an update by Molly.
