Whenever I try to install Signal, it asks me to update Google Play Services. Sorry, but using Google Play Services seems worse than using Whatsapp.

  doesn't whatsapp use Google play services? that's how you normally do push notification on android

    When I disable all Google services, I still recieve Wire, whatsapp, Messenger Lite (for marketplace), and email messages. All messages are on-time, with Whatsapp coming through faster than on my coworkers iphones. Ironically, Fluffychat, a Matrix client, is the outlier - it relies on Google Services Framework to deliver messages

    It works fine for me. Maybe notifications don't appear as fast as they did when I used Google Play Services (I'm not sure about this), but everything else works fine.
