Has anyone else come across this? I’m running 21-20240419-NIGHTLY-panther and I don’t get notifications until I open the app, at least in Signal and WhatsApp, and I suspect Gmail too. I already set the apps to unrestricted battery usage (including the hard-to-find extra setting when you press to the left of the “Allow background usage” toggle ) and I disabled the “Battery Manager” (which I could only find by searching in settings, there doesn’t appear to be a button for it in the settings, separately…)

Is there anything else I could try? I have a Pixel 7.

    Having run WA for years on a LineageOS phone without google services, I can attest that this is a myth. You just have to turn off battery optimization

      I know Signal has its own notification service if there is no Google Play services, but I was not aware of whatsapp did the same thing.

        I mean it did work for years on LineageOS, but last month I’ve switched to GrapheneOS and it’s less reliable, so who knows what’s the problem
