I suggested that you look online for the app/developer's website in order to compare their app to the one available on the Google Play Store just like what was said to you i.e. "You need to make sure it's the genuine app from the developers, ideally by opening a link from their site."

And to get on topic, best place to download apps if you're not using Google Play Store would be from the officials app's website. Places like WhatsApp has its own apk file you can download as well as Telegram, and Signal. For other apps F-Droid is pretty good although people here will say F-Droid is bad.

You could also just make a separate profile with Google Play on it and download it from the official Play Store for apps that need Google.

Using other third party stores always come with a risk of putting malware on your phone so be aware of that and stay safe.

Please remember we are all just trying to help each out. It is not okay to expect an explanation from somebody else, and become angry if they don't answer in a way you like. The GrapheneOS account has already raised in this very thread the issue of maintaining high quality discussion in this forum. Arguments and plain rudeness are not welcome here, especially directed towards other users of this Forum. I have removed two counts of that from this thread. Please do not let that continue.
