Some months ago I'v read that there where some issues over privacy on latest syncthing releases, what's the status as of today? alternative is needed or is safe to use?

Syncthing itself is fine. The unofficial Syncthing for Android was the problem.

You can get around the problem by installing Termux and using the official Syncthing client.

Using termux full time for running network facing services is pretty insecure. Termux should not be relied on for sensitive things, EVERY process runs as the same user.

There is also the android version of syncthing-tray

That dev has been around for a long time so seems like a decent option even if not as polished as syncthing-fork was.
