Anyone know why showing permissions was removed from the new f droid update? Can i revert back or use a different client perhaps? I feel like that was an important feature

It is a known issue, MR was merged 2 weeks ago, it will come back in the next version: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/merge_requests/1795

    I'll check that out thanks. Any issue having it and the official client? Being that I installed some from the main app, would droid ify be able to take over updating them all without uninstalling and reinstalling

    Yes, droidify also uses fdroid repo (and more) so there should not be any conflicts in signatures. You might get a popup/confirmation when you update the apps for the first time indicating this app was previously updated by fdroid.

    I'm on F-Droid 1.23.2 and at the bottom of several apps I still show permissions... What version do you have? A beta?

    Ouch. Well I'm dumb. Installed the update, hated it, had to uninstall and reinstall my old APK from March. Got back my old version, stupidly didn't screenshot my repos. Fixed now, but oversight on my part! 😥
