unified push works as a stand in for gms on devices without it. it runs in the background & receive the wakeup pings for the apps (in this case simplex) so you only need one websocket open instead of a different background service for each app. hugely reduces battery use.
Does that work without google services? I thought this was why signal said they wouldn't remove gapps depends, and all privacy apps do pull instead of push?
AFAIK yes, it's the whole point.
