Can somebody clarify if I'm correct in believing that feature flags are client features that can be activated server-side (as opposed to an app update)?

- Daniel_sk 6y agoThese can be set by the server, you don't need to update the app. "A location for flags that can be set locally and remotely. These flags can guard features that are not yet ready to be activated." Here is the file with javadoc on top: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/blob/2c1c6fab3560ef12996030cf7c84cc0d895e329e/app/src/main/java/org/thoughtcrime/securesms/util/FeatureFlags.java https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/blob/2c1c6fab356...
- jimsparkman 6y agoThat is correct. Typically used to enable or modify a feature in the client on your own time table vs. App Store approval.
