The open source fdroid builds don't do that, instead they receive notifications another way, without google's push service.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoCan you please elaborate, what 'another way'? I know only one: keeping the app running as a service, with all associated drawbacks. The app we develop (an XMPP client) does just that. On iOS, it is not possible at all. To make an app receive messages and notify user about them, you must use APNS, and to do that you have to upload your keys to Telegram.
- IceWreck 5y agoYes, the app runs in the background. It kills the battery, but you have to compromise on that if you do not want to have google services on your phone.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoTelegram users who want to avoid ads and people who want to keep their phones google free are two very different audiences, which shouldn't be conflated.
