    Signal sends notifications via Apple’s push notification servers. So I’m still not quite clear what are suggesting. That apps run continuously in the background. each doing real-time polling of their respective servers for notifications? Because your battery ain’t going to last long.

      the way signal and some privacy friendly apps do it is they send a blank notif first to wake up the app and then send the notif directly to you

        That sounds like a cracking idea, the suggestion is that something in Apple’s ToS prevents this generally - but is that the case, if Signal manages it?
