As of now, the link is still on 6.47.5. Which region are you guys in that is version 7? Let me vpn over there
You might have to borrow a Google Play Store account.
I use Molly on fdroid. I do have signal but it's the apk version so I might have to tough it out
Does Molly work for that? Looks like they updated to 7.0 to me.
I don't see the new username update in Molly yet
At the risk of sounding like a broken record here, can you confirm what version you have? I see 7.0 is released, but 6.47 is recommended.
Ah ok. I didn't check in settings. It is 6.47 foss
Edit: oddly enough, in fdroid it shows I'm on 7.0.1
Edit 2: ohh so I have 2 versions of molly installed hee hee.
Neither of them let you set your username though? Interesting. When the functionality arrived for me, it was announced via a popup that showed at the bottom of the app as soon as I updated. But it might not roll out to all 7.0 users at once either...
It works for me on 7.0. I am able to make a username but I have yet to use it as my friends probably don't have 7.0 yet
Seems like they are generally not available on Android yet. Not even on the Google Play Store
This looks like a rolling release, so some people will have it and some will not.
I got the update today.
Yeah, it seems to be out for everyone on Google Play now
I set up a username a few days ago, but I had to opt into the beta on googleplay (I really wanted a username, fucking finally)
I was able to set my username today on the desktop windows app but it prompted me to. I can't find where to change it on that or android.
On android its under settings > tap on profile pic
Guess I don't have access to the feature yet. And I have the beta version too.
