To download a GitHub release you might need to expand the assets section to download the [APK file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_application_package).
|
|
|
|
The GitHub version is being updated more often than the Play store version.
|
|
The GitHub release will automatically check for updates on GitHub.
|
|
You can turn this off in the miscellaneous settings.

Certificate fingerprints:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
MD5: 64:90:8E:2C:0D:25:29:B0:D0:26:2D:24:D8:BB:66:56
|
|
SHA1: 17:BA:15:C1:AF:55:D9:25:F9:8B:99:CE:A4:37:5D:4C:DF:4C:17:4B

|
|
|
|
* [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.faircode.email/) ([last build status](https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/eu.faircode.email/lastbuild))
|
|
|
|
Note that F-Droid builds new versions irregularly and you'll need the F-Droid client to get update notifications.
|
|
To get updates in a timely fashion you are advised to use the GitHub release.
|
|
|
|
Because F-Droid builds and GitHub releases are signed differently, an F-Droid build needs to be uninstalled first to be able to update to a GitHub release.

## Privacy
|
|
|
|
Please see [here](https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/PRIVACY.md#fairemail) for the privacy policy.

|
## Compatibility
|
|
|
|
FairEmail requires at least Android 5 Lollipop.
|
|
Individual message notifications are available on Android 7 Nougat and later only
|
|
because earlier Android versions do not support notification grouping.
|
|
|
|
FairEmail will work properly on devices without any Google service installed.
|
|
|
