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.

    Blacklist apps: By blacklisting apps, Google will not know that the selected apps are installed on your device

    I think blacklisting only hides the apps from Google, not Aurora

      then when you blacklist apps, aurora no longer searches for their updates either 🤷

      try it for yourself. next time there is an update for an app; instead of updating, blacklist it. (you can always undo

        Okay, so the only reason to blacklist an app would be if you didn’t want to update for some reason

            Oh, I get it now. So I’d want to do that to my F-Droid apps, if I prefer to run their updates via F-Droid.
