Would this avoid google push?
Yes
To was bad decision to rely on Google… Good to see them fix it considering what we know now
It used to be less of a decision and more push or no push.
Other apps didn’t rely on google for notifications
I am not following how proton is different
Which apps are you referring to? Google and Apple’s services have long been the default choice for notifications on mobile devices. Other options get killed off by battery optimization processes without special setup.
Signal
Signal has their own implementation of notifications, which uses WebSockets. It works, and it doesn’t rely on Google, but it eats up battery like crazy. If every app did this, you would have a battery life of an hour. That’s why UnifiedPush is a better solution.
Yeah, that’s the entire point of it
I have. And I noted it in the recent survey as a must have.
It’s mildly amusing how this post has 84 upvotes, but the feature request itself only has 34 votes
mildly
amusinginfuriatinghaving to put details in prolly hindering the target audience here lol
Still in awe that I can’t find any “log in with Proton” option on Proton’s official feature request site.
There is Sign in with SimpleLogin, which is a Proton subsidiary
I’m talking about the user voice site in this post. That doesn’t use sign in with SimpleLogin or sign in with Proton (which also exists). You can sign into SimpleLogin with Proton.
Ok now I get what you mean - I fully agree. UserVoice really sucks as a platform, but there aren’t many good alternatives and I imagine they don’t let you migrate and move the existing feature requests, so Proton is stuck with them.
You guys are getting push notifications?
Not without Google Play services, that’s why we need UnifiedPush support
