minus-squarehelenslunch@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-210 months ago Yep notifications require google play services installed. No they don’t. But that’s not what we’re talking about anyway. They do not require a google account or being signed in to one. The app does.
minus-squareZworf@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoWell, 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.
