For Signal, they will know when and how often you receive Signal messages.

Notifications are used to "activate" the app on your device. Then it will connect to Signal servers and download the encrypted messages.

After the software on your device decrypted the message, then it has the sender details and message content.

There are settings to control how much of that information is used when creating the local notification. Because other apps might log notifications.

Why don't you ask the Matrix team why they decided to re-invent XMPP and add a stupid HTTP API?

Don't negotiate with or give in to terrorists!

It's both amazing and annoying that Google is perfectly able to create useful apps for iOS (despite the huge limitations the OS imposes) but Apple can't figure out how to make any Android app that isn't utter crap with fewer restrictions imposed on them.

Installing from F-Droid prevents sales like this from causing silent "upgrades" to advertising-infested versions.

Done.

Try out any of these:

- Session @session
- SimpleX @simplex
- Threema @threemaapp

They all don't require a phone number, which makes them immediately better than Signal, for devices that don't have a SIM.

What kind of openness are you hoping for? Google has built their solution with a bunch of already open pieces.

RCS + Signal protocol + MLS

At the quoted speed, I think they should be legally obligated to provide 15,821 TB of data transfer per month, at a bare minimum.

You can pull new images while the old ones continue running happily. That docker-compose down command is completely unnecessary.
