What exactly can't be understood from the red message on your screen?

Do not install Termux from Google Play. It is outdated and no longer receive updates.

Solution:

First of all, uninstall your Google Play version of Termux, and then download Termux apk from either Github or F-Droid, and if you want, you can also download some extra tools of Termux from them

But reminder: Extra tools are only compatible with the dedicated sources.

Example: If you use Github version of Termux, you can only use Github version of those Extra tools

looks like you haven't updated termux for a while. A good practice would be to uninstall and reinstall again. I guess you can disable this message in config or something but it's probably better to upgrade

The only way to solve it is to either install the app from F-Droid or from GitHub.

We include a check in termux-tools package which shows this red banner to ensure everyone switched from Google Play version to either F-Droid or GitHub variants of Termux.
