Current Behavior

I'm not able to install the APK after downloading APK, from this repo.
Specifically any of:

• session-1.32.2-universal-huawei-release.apk
• session-1.32.2-arm64-v8a-play-release.apk

I get the following window:

App not installed as package conflict with an existing package.

Expected Behavior

I can install APK from repo

Steps To Reproduce

download and install

Android Version

16

Session Version

1.30.3

Anything else?

Original app was installed from APKPure:

• https://apkpure.com/session-private-messenger/network.loki.messenger

Are they a trustworthy source?

[ThomasSession]

We are not officially releasing anything on apkPure so we can't vouch for the version that was initially installed from there.
If you uninstall your existing version (make sure you copy your recovery phrase of course) and then install our official app, you will lose your old messages that are more than 14 days old.
You will not lose the conversation/contacts themselves, but only the messages older than 14 days.

you will lose your old messages that are more than 14 days old.

Ok, thanks, but why 14?

This is how the network is designed. It holds information for 14days in the swarm. This is different from what is stored locally on your phone in the encrypted database.
