  • if an app is available both on fdroid and the play store, and you already have google services installed, then it is almost always better to use the play store version. unless fdroid has changed recently, the way apps are signed is more robust and the chain of trust more resistant to manipulation for apps on the play store.

    if you are asking if the selection of apps on each distributor are on the whole more secure in the way they provide their service, that’s a more complicated question i can’t answer.




  • It could be that you have too many other apps in the background, and Android is essentially freeing up memory for other processes. If you have too many tabs open this could also occur. You could also have your battery saving options too aggressive, which also clears data from background apps. I’d look up something like “how to keep Android from stopping apps in the background” or something similar.
