I used to have both, because the beta didn’t have necessary features like archive but did have threaded convos. Now “both” of my Proton Mail apps are the same app but I have 2 icons. They both open the same thing.

    ProtonMail had a special beta app which you needed to download directly from them and wasn’t on the Play Store. Then the Play Store app also has a “join the beta” option which you can opt into. I was opted into that. Even then, the one from the Play Store was not the same as the other.

    A week or so ago they pushed an update so that the “join the beta” version from the Play Store was the same as the special one you needed to download from Proton.

    That was a huge mistake IMO since the special one is extremely rough and lacking in basic features, and has bugs.

      So can I not run both in parallel anymore? I liked keeping up with the development of the beta but, as you said, it’s not usable on it’s own. If I have to only use one, it’ll necessarily have to be the non-beta.

    Weird. I’d suggest you uninstall and re-install if that’s possible. Could be a beta issue somewhere. I’m not seeing it in my own device, that’s for sure, and I removed both (production from Playstore and first manual beta apk) to get the actual beta from the playstore, if that helps.
