Molly, an alternative to the Signal app, is not receiving updates Molly, a popular fork of Signal for Android, has not received any updates since July 31, that's about three months without patches. alternativeto.net/news/2026/11/signal-fork-molly-goes-3-months-without-updates-leaving-users-exposed-to-vulnerabilities/ During this period, the official Signal client has addressed several vulnerabilities, yet Molly users remain exposed to them. Most notably, a flaw disclosed in October allowed audio (and possibly video) to continue transmitting even after a user had ended a call. I am often asked for my opinion on various unofficial applications or systems, and my answer is always the same: they should at least meet certain security standards before being considered a requirement that is not met in this case. As long as Molly fails to resume an update schedule that keeps pace with Signal's security patches, it should not be recommended. It is currently unknown whether or when the project will return to regular releases.
