Yep notifications require google play services installed. They do not require a google account or being signed in to one. It’s based on the device ID alone. I don’t have a google ID on my phone and push messages work just fine.
Well, Google firebase notifications do. Either Google play or something comparable like MicroG. It’s possible to run them another way too but not many app backends support that.
But yes my complaint is exactly that this app requires google.
I was told “Beeper Mini relies on Google for some features: for example, notifications. - Abdullah”
Weird, I have a thousand other apps where my notifications work just fine without being signed into Google. Makes no sense to me.

No they don’t. But that’s not what we’re talking about anyway.
The app does.
