Trying very hard to ignore this absolutely stupid take. But I can't.

Amethyst is objectively better in terms of security than all the other apps you mentioned, because it doesn't even need your keys to work. All of it's code is open source and built verifiably and signed by the dev. Which means you know that the app that is running on your phone is exactly the one that is coded by the dev.

Something that you can never ensure on apple. And apple apps have been known to almost certainly have Trojans. Read about cocoapods dependency injection.

For most users there is still the Play Store in between, which leads to the same issues as with iOS (the binary hash will always get changed ). Yes F-droid and zapstore you can compare to a build from the github commit, but important to note that the vast majority of Amethyst installs will be from Play.

Doesn't matter , the discussion was about security between these apps, and amethysts commitment to it speaks for itself, majority android users may download it from play store but ALL apple use will have to download any apps from app store.
