        But what should they specifically do in this case to improve the situation - got any actual suggestions?

          they can push a new TOS to the app store mandating that push nitifs be handled the same way signal handles them.

            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?

          No, I don’t have any suggestion for how should Apple circumvent laws. But if they can’t improve on it, they shouldn’t lie that they did so.

              They’re lying about many things, such as their respect for privacy, right to repair, sustainability, what else. Oh they’ve lied about use of slave labor if I recall correctly
