Signal's new version notification keeps popping up (lemmy.today)

Hey just wondering if its a problem on my end but a self update notification indicating a newer version of signal keeps popping up. I already have the latest version of the apk, 6.40.4, installed from their website, but the notification does not go away. I click it and then it states the application has been updated but after a few minutes later it pops up again. Not sure where to ask this but I would assume this place is one of the best places to interact with people that also use signal's non-playstore apk. Is this a bug on my end or are you experiencing it too?

Edit: forgot to mention I'm on grapheneos if thats a factor

Edit 2: apparently it was already reported on github and I missed it

I had an update reboot pending and it seems like that got rid of it for me.

Nope... lasted all of 10 minutes.
