Hi guys! I'm trying to check Molly-Foss as alternative to Signal. I installed it from its F-Droid repo. When I tap to turn on database encryption, I am prompted for the passphrase. After I set it...it just closes/crashes. Opening the app again, i'm back to the option to turn it on and set a password. What should I do?

Is your pixel up to date? Could you please provide the fdroid repo you have added to your fdroid client?

Yup, pixel 7 is up to date, usually downloads latest release update within the same day. I downloaded Molly from the Molly F-droid repo...is there any other repo? F-droid's own repo doesn' thave it, so I added Molly's one...

I gave their github issues a look and I did not find anything similar to this...

The repo is the correct one. I have no useful advice unfortunately. Either reinstall, use signal or wait for someone who can be more useful.
