Also, the company said they aren't going to do an Android version supposedly because of anonymity issues (see Bluesky link below).

Sorry, there will not be an Android version because there is no way to provide 100% anonymity. Each person's device ID would have to be stored and that information becomes discoverable should the government issue a subpoena.

Only iOS made this possible and completely protects the users.
