Description

From the listing uploaded by “icip”.

Note that Antox is still alpha software and there may be some bugs. Antox uses the Tox protocol which is Peer to Peer, so there will be high data usage and battery drain. WiFi only mode is currently recommended for now. With the rise of government monitoring programs, Antox is an easy to use application that allows you to connect with friends and family without anyone else listening in. Antox is completely open-source so you know what you're using is truly secure.

Antox APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Antox APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is bf837752af11c0a992a3cc0382effff4.
