Hi White Noise Messenger team,👽 I wanted to send a quick note of appreciation and support. I’m an active White Noise Messenger user and I genuinely love it — the app feels solid, clean, and reliable. Since the latest update, I’ve also noticed a clearly improved battery usage on my device, which is a big deal for day-to-day use. I’m trying to help more people switch over, so I’ve already created some content about White Noise Messenger: an English read/review a German YouTube video a German blog article on alien-investor.org Thanks for the great work — I’m rooting for you. Greetings from orbit 🛸

Hi 👽 I’m also using GrapheneOS (degoogled Pixel). I installed White Noise from the official GitHub release page, not via Zapstore:
White Noise - Secure Private Messenger
A truly secure and private messenger that
 On Android, I used the ARM64 build: whitenoise-0.2.1-arm64-v8a.apk 🔴Important: always verify the checksum shown on the download page before installing. After installing, I added the app to Obtainium so it can pull future updates directly from the official releases. That’s the exact workflow I used, and it works reliably on my degoogled phone.

Hi Alien Investor 😉 i downloaded whitenoise from github in my download folder, clicking on the whitenoise-0.2.1-arm64-v8a.apk opens up the app verifier however, the installation process doesn’t start. It stays on the app verifier or when i close and go back to the download it just goes again to the app verifier ☹️ What am i doing wrong here?

What am i doing wrong here?

Hi 👽 try this: White Noise on GrapheneOS – Installation stuck at App Verifier? This is normal and confusing at first. The App Verifier only verifies the APK. It does not install apps. If verification shows SUCCESS, the APK is authentic and safe — but still not installed. What to do: Exit App Verifier Open your Downloads folder Long-press the APK → Open with Select Package Installer If blocked: Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps → allow it for your file manager Why this happens: If the APK is always opened with App Verifier, you get stuck in a verification loop.
