This is not possible. Or even if it was possible in theory… At very
least at time of writing switching from persistent to live mode without
reboot is unsupported.
What live indicator says can be safely ignored if you know what you are
doing. (Know you’re in which mode.)
snapd uses mount. This might confuse live mode indicator.

I’ll try to re-produce.

Therefore not possible / not needed.
Confirmed.
This will be fixed in next version.
Ok thanks for your help
Same thing happened to me but with authy, installed using snapd.
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install authy --beta
Live indicator is there (I didn’t choose live mode), and I do however see that changes are written to disk and persist from one boot to another.
hi sheep
Are you able to install Wickr me using :
sudo snap install authy --beta
Is that a kind of store?
Thanks for your reply.
