Dear Lemmings,...

I basically want to talk and send messages and pictures, video call is not really that important....

desktop shows all available versions, including the newest ones. This is not always the case when I load the f-droid app on my phone. If I check the f-droid website, results are the same as using the desktop.

Running Android 13....
