Thank goodness for F-droid.
- zeroping 6y agoI totally agree. Last time this happened with an app I use and trust, I rooted my phone and switched to lineageos to allow F-droid auto-updates. Google is not making me want to keep using their services. https://f-droid.org/packages/im.vector.app https://f-droid.org/packages/im.vector.app
- canofbars 6y agoUntil you find out that the app isn't able to use the google notification service so it puts a persistent notification in your bar and uses more battery.
- boring_twenties 6y agoI was able to easily hide my persistent notification, and still get the actual notifications for messages. I understand it should use more battery, but my phones still last multiple days even with F-Droid versions of Element and Telegram running 24/7. One real annoyance is that after upgrading the apps, I need to start them again manually. Otherwise I won't receive any notifications until I do. IIRC with the Google Play versions, the push notifications will arrive and cause the app to start.
