minus-squareGolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mlhexbear1·edit-24 months agoIdk about Element but Signal uses the Google's insecure implementation if the device has gapps installed and it uses the traditional system which is not push if gapps are not installed. linkfedilink
minus-squaretetris11@lemmy.mlhexbear2·4 months agoAh okay, thanks for the insight. I don't have Gapps (MicroG or otherwise), so I do wonder how these services deliver their notifications. linkfedilink
