And if so, why exactly? It says it’s end-to-end encrypted. The metadata isn’t. But what is metadata and is it bad that it’s not? Are there any other problematic things?

I think I have a few answers for these questions, but I was wondering if anyone else has good answers/explanations/links to share where I can inform myself more.

    Other apps may have code published in a repository, but the path from repository into the Play Store onto my phone is not clear. How do I know that they don’t add extra tracking code on top during the build and release to the Play Store? With for example a popular alternate app, Signal?
