GrapheneOS You're confusing commits with updates to the app
I'm not. I might not have worded it well enough, but I did say any updates. I do believe this should very much include commits (aka updates to the code).
those are automatically merged translations updates.
So we're both in agreement on the whole "updates" thing then?
The last change to the code was July 2019.
The last change to the app's code was July 2019. You're confusing automatically merged translation updates with updates to the code or app.
Not sure why you feel the need for such over repetition in your comment, but I am very aware that the last update was 2019 hence why I pointed this out with "even then, most of the updates for the past couple of years(!) as you can see are just translations and not actual feature/security updates."
Silence is highly insecure and has numerous critical vulnerabilities including ones with proof of concept exploits. It should not be used. It is the opposite of improving your privacy and security.
Yes. Good thing I pointed out it wasn't recommended to use outdated software. Again, ultimately up to users if they wish to use it (in case it wasn't clear, this is not a recommendation of the app and shouldn't be treated as such). Not that there's any real reason to use this app, since using modern non-SMS apps like Signal is obviously better.
These apps also do not provide any end-to-end encryption without the people on both ends using them
Cool. Good thing I pointed this out in a previous comment. :)
