Signal doesn't require Google Play Services. It will use Play Services if installed for notifications, but works fine without them, and it can be installed on LineageOS etc.
- cyphar 6y agoIn fairness to GP, this only became true a few years ago and Signal has not advertised this (nor the fact that you can now download the Signal APK from their website and it auto-updates outside of the play store[1]). Folks who opted to not use Signal some time ago likely had no way of finding this out, and Moxie's comments on this in ~2014 gave the impression that it would never happen.
