? That's a misunderstanding. You can of course use the official servers with your self-compiled version. (side note: I also don't think your phone needs to be rooted for this)
- e12e 10y agoOk, that makes sense. It's only compiled binaries distributed through third party app stores that cannot (should not) use the official servers?
- haffenloher 10y agoYeah, they prefer if you don't distribute your builds (i.e. something named Signal and / or using their servers) to other people (because they don't actually know what's inside the builds, they've got no update channel, etc.)
