Session messenger android client currently feels unpolished while simplex seems to require it to run in the background for instant notifications. Is there an alternative that is better than those 2?
Session messenger android client currently feels unpolished while simplex seems to require it to run in the background for instant notifications. Is there an alternative that is better than those 2?
Why though? If a app has its own implementation this is a non issue really.
To save battery life I suppose. Also some phones may kill a background app even when told not to thus preventing messages from being received.
Most of the time this can disabled somewhere in the app permissions. i have done this for a couple of apps without much issue.
I have simplex notification service running 24x7. while rarely open, i never missed a message when it arrive (i use it as a message bridge between my devices). Nor I feel it uses more battery that it can’t hold a day of use despite it running constantly in the background. I’m using S21FE btw.
