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.

Logically this sounds like it’d work, so I tried it. Didn’t work. Then I un-installed both apps. I was already out of the beta in the play store from the first time around. Reinstalled it from the play store , - it’s the beta. I can’t get out!
Edit: my only theory is that it takes a while for the play store to recognize that I left? I’m going to stay out of it and leave it un-installed and try again later.
Edit 2: Update. Waited an hour. Reinstalled from the play store. Still in the Beta. It’s like purgatory
Edit 3: aha! I uninstalled, downloaded the apk from here and it worked! https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail-android/releases
Yeah, that could be. I left beta, then a while later uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked for me. Might try clearing the app cache for both too.
