Hi guys basically as the title says. I have a pixel phone running GrapheneOS and I really don’t want to install Play Services. Is there an alternative for me? I need reliable notifications for Telegram and signal. Edit: Thank you all amazing people for helping I learned alot and found best setup for me

    So it’s either a persistent notification or allowing the app to constantly running in the background. Does it have a significant battery impact?

      yes, it has a “significant” impact on battery. i don’t know why the other comment claims otherwise.

      it’s worth it for me, so i accept that “impact”.

        Signal uses 2% a day and Element 1%. I do not really think this is significant.

      as I know its the persistent notification (that you can hide on most phones, but do not swipe away) is what lets it run in the background
