### Signal - Verify APK

1. Download the Signal APK from the link below to your Linux computer by clicking the "Download" button and saving it to a directory, such as the "Download" directory in your "home" directory:

Signal APK for Android/DeGoogled Phones

2. Install apksigner onto Linux. On Ubuntu based distros (Mint, Ubuntu, etc.), type this into a terminal:

<br>sudo apt install apksigner<br>

3. Open a terminal and go to the directory where you downloaded the Signal APK into, & type this into a terminal:
(replace this apk filename with your apk filename)

<br>apksigner verify --print-certs --min-sdk-version 25 Signal-Android-website-prod-universal-release-6.6.3.apk<br>

4. You can then verify the SHA256 fingerprint on the website with the SHA256 fingerprint from the output

5. Transfer the APK to your phone & install. You can transfer using a USB cable, KDE Connect, or by using SFTP and Material Files.

>Notes
"-min-sdk-version 25" means verify the signatures work on Android API versions 7.1 & higher. This will eliminate warnings for any unsupported version below 7.1
