Cant install Whatsapp or Signal on Waydroid

Openstore is not in waydroid, it's the native app store for Ubuntu Touch, (it's not APK files). Try the app Whatsweb.
Though it you want the android version for me it works with APK from whatsapp website.

When I tryed to install Signal it says
"App not installed as app isn`t compatible with your phone"Have you tried getting the apk directly from Signal?
And of course, it needs to be downloaded and installed from inside Waydroid.Is currently using an Op5t
Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop. -
@bunt7 You need to install first Fdroid app repository
From there you will be able to install many free and open-source applications for Android

Though on my side the Signal APK does not work anymore without google API installed. Not sure if I'm alone with this? So I use Molly Foss, which works exactly like Signal, but without proprietary blobs, and with possibility to use as a secondary device. -
Now I am confused. Fdroid is a Appstore for Android. Can I install it on ubuntu touch?
-
....and I tried to install molly foss but could not install it on ubuntu touch

Yes, inside a Waydroid container.

Ok, this was what I didnt understand, that I have to install Molly in the waydroid container.
Done! Thanks a lot for helping me!
Now I can (nearly*) leave the android universe and move to Ubuntu touch.
*"nearly" because of the waydroid container

Read through the posts and having some issues with Molly Foss not working and would appreciate any thoughts or insights from the community. I feel like I am close. Thanks in advance.
Running 24.04-1.2 stable. I have Waydroid installed (via Waydroid helper from OpenStore). I installed F-droid and then Molly Foss (both within Waydroid).
When I start Waydroid and then Molly Foss and configured setting so that I am visible to everyone via phone number (at least initially) and have a friend who is helping me get started who also set to be visible to everyone via phone number.
I try to send a simple chat ("Hello"), it says "Send Paused" (and it is not delivered). I am also prompted with a hCapcha verification (to prevent spam). When I try to call to a fellow Signal user, the message says "Contact will get a message request from you and if accepted then you can make a call" (or something like this). However, the message is never sent nor received.I can confirm that internet is working within Waydroid as I can surf the web in browser and also ping and hit various IP addresses.
Has anyone encountered something like this? Is there some setting that perhaps is not configured that I need? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
