France bans ministers from WhatsApp, Signal; demands French alternatives. (www.politico.eu)

After the Tchap project based on Matrix, the French Prime Minister asks anyone in the gouvernement to use Olvid, the only app validated by the ANSSI, with metadata encryption and no centralised architecture nor contacts discovery. But only the front-ends are open source, not the back-end.

Don’t know App Manager. What is it? The report from Exodus Privacy is interesting: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/fr/reports/io.olvid.messenger/latest/

It's an Android app that can 'Scan for trackers and libraries in apps and list (all or only) tracking classes (and their code dump)' as well as many other functions
