I do not see Electron anywhere? It looks like a native Android app that uses Jetpack Compose.

It's in the alpha channel. Go in to the 'App Store' app, go to Messaging, 3 dot menu and change release channel.

They mentioned you can use the Alpha from their app installer.

#17With a seemingly insurmountable workload - maintain an actually secure OS fork - for a small team, I wonder how GrapheneOS prioritizes things like messaging apps? I'm not saying it's wrong at all; I am just interested in the thinking inside a project like that. I can imagine many reasons to devote resources to it: * A platform is only as good as its apps. If they want to grow GOS in the general public, it requires a…
Well they're going to be shipping GOS on Motorola and I think some other devices, so basic things like the messaging app need to actually have some polish to them. I really like GrapheneOS overall as-is, but the messaging app felt like baby's first texting app. Not necessarily their fault since it's pretty much straight out of AOSP if I understand correctly. But any time I've installed GrapheneOS, the messaging app is one of two things I must replace every time (the other being the downright bad AOSP keyboard).
If they fix(ed) their messaging app and their keyboard, then they've really eliminated a lot of potential complaints if a less tech-savvy crowd ends up buying future Motorolas.

You can go to the GOS App Store, choose the Messaging app, click 3 dots at the top and choose the Alpha release channel to get it now

Good to know! For others: You open their app store, go into messaging, hamburger menu, select release channel, and choose alpha.

#20Now, can we please get the long-awaited full system backup feature? We pay you for a reason!
(sarcasm obvious, but indeed full system backup is sorely missing. Seedvault is crap, not an option)
