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

    It's a fake copy of Signal

    The actual package name is org.thoughtcrime.securesms, not org.thoughtcrimes.securesms

    Also Google officially recommends Signal on the Android website last I checked, so I don't see why Play Protect would flag it as malware

    edit: attach screenshot of package name

    edit 2: fix typo in package name (accidentally typed thoughcrime)
