I guessing that is because it wants to work without google play services so it needs to keep a connection to the server. This is similar to how signal works when run without gApps.
- JasonFruit 5y agoI don't have problems with battery life running Signal without GApps or MicroG.
- gsich 5y agoSame. I don't see how a connection to random server X should eat more battery compared to Google.
- mkeedlinger 5y agoI think the difference is more that each app has to maintain its own connection (more connections, more drain). Seems like gotify could remedy that though.
- avinassh 5y agoTIL. How does Signal sends push notifications without GCM?
- MayeulC 5y agoJust like how google services handle push notifications on your phone: a persistent connection. Without GCM though, every app needs to maintain a separate connection, which drains more battery. That's why we need more alternatives to GCM, like UnifiedPush.
