Great! If you’re technical and not have iOS. That’s already 50% of British market not using it.
Besides, it won’t help you if that’s a government mandate, and Google will be forced to take it down for the UK market from the store. Not a lot of people are installing apps from outside the Play Store.
Too bad if people arent willing to adapt. I guess you'll just have to use paper notes and face to face contact, or whatever app your government makes. /S
I don't believe Tox has had a security audit so be careful using it
