I installed Bitwarden from F-Droid, but I happened to notice yesterday that Bitwarden was in my list of apps with updates available from Play Store, even though I installed it via F-Droid. Why would that be?

I know this is a better question for the Bitwarden forums, but I don’t have enough street cred there to make a post.

    This reminds me of something else that tripped me out. I started using Aurora to update apps, and I was so confused about why there were so many unexpected updates. Apparently, Google doesn’t roll out updates all at the same time. Now I know why people in my discord complain about updates that I don’t see until days later.

    Maybe if the updates happen to align, they will appear in multiple places? I’m not sure, but I really wish Play couldn’t “see” all the apps I’ve installed on my device. Creepy-ass behavior.

      The slow rollouts are so annoying too, I often saw apps say I need to update without there even being an update for me.
