Samsung has also had it for quite a long time. Pretty much lots of recent mainline android additions seem to be a port of Samsung software. Repair mode, quick share, now offline find my device. They do seem to benefit from each other though, and that’s a good thing.
Droidify has never ever even suggested me an update in the background. Like ever. The option is enabled in the settings. I always have to launch it manually and refresh to see new updates idk. FDroid app on the other hand works flawlessly, including the newest one.
Pretty sure both of them have something to benefit from in this scenario. Knowing how often they partner up, might be true. Most likely Samsung will just give up the feature name and favor Google’s option as a transparent replacement. Google gets the feature name, Samsung gets to brag it is now compatible with all other Android devices. Ez.
