I installed Signal via Obtanium. Just use this URL when searching/adding the app

https://signal.org/android/apk/

Why would you need to use obtanium to get the Signal apk file from that link?

You can just download the apk from that website and install it. The app can update itself.

The app doesn't auto update for me.

Huh, that's strange. On my 3 Android devices, I downloaded the APK from the website, and it always auto-updates.

It existed ever since they added the APK to their website as a compromise for people who don't want to get Signal from the Play Store.
