Those open platforms exist. Can the apps in question be downloaded in Pakistan via F-Droid?

What about the iOS users? AFAIK, it's more likely the Ahmadiyyas have iPhones since they are a relatively well-off community compared to the rest of Pakistan (or the Muslim world in general).

Very good point. I had my viewpoint focused on Android and forgot that the side-loading question on Apple is very different.

I can tell you none of my cousins over there who belong to that community had an iPhone last time I saw them, they were busy making fun of an old iPhone I had brought to sell compared to their Androids
