they can keep control of the app and change it freely without most people noticing, especially if a modified version is only pushed to certain individual devices.

Is it possible though? like Google Play updates the modified app only for certain individual devices

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago

Sure that is easily possible. They can also push an update to everyone and a slightly modified version the same time only to certain devices.

In fact if this is still true then Google could even dynamically push a exploit into Signal without an update to the app itself.
