As Signal get your phone number. Can we considerate this application as private ? What’s your thoughts about it ? I’m also using SimpleX, ElementX, Threema, but not much people using it…

Cheers

    I assume for bribes of some sort from Google

    This one is stick, not carrot: apps are generally required to use Google’s notification system to be allowed in the Play Store.

    Signal gets notifications without GMS. I think battery use and latency are a little higher. Molly, a fork can use UnifiedPush for better results.
