    Hmm not exactly. WhatsApp is closed source, we don't know exactly how it works, but since it is based on XMPP, chances are high it uses xmpps own push service. Either there would be a notification about missing GCM or firebase.

    Btw. Websockets on signal and telegram needs the apps running in background which eats up the battery. That's why a lot of degoogled-users install unifiedpush via ntfy-app. Some third party alternatives support unifiedpush, signal = molly + unifiedpush and telegram = mercurygram or nagram.

    The one that scares me the most is:

    Accept all or Settings

    And you have to opt out 5-10 buttons and at the end there is a "save settings" or the "accept all" button again in green.

    Who has time for this shit? Just for a stupid article? We need laws against these.

    I tried out Image Toolbox for editing images. It's very feature rich, but very unintuitive to use.

    I used this app too, but decided it has too many options and I just want cropping images.

    In the grapheneOS Store is this little tool "Markup" which is the original pixel image editor. It doesn't use any network access and is pretty solid.

    I just use stalwart - mail, it's just one docker container, has bleeding edge functions like jmap and there is no need of deeper knowledge. I refer my domain on the settings and got a list of all needed dns-records.

    It takes 2-4 days to get SSL and dmarc answers from the big mail-players and if there is nothing wrong with your IP or your records then there is no mail going into spam of someone else.
