Apparently Signal doesn't run in the backgroud and give notifications if I don't have Google Play Services enabled. Anyway to work around this? Seems uncool to have a privacy focused messenger that relies on Google shit.

Found this article while looking for the differencies between Signal and Session. Hope this helps.
