Attached: 1 image I installed #Signal and #Conversations_im on a clean install of #GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a and measured the battery impact. The results are shocking! Both messengers had only one contact: my regular phone. I used my regular phone to send messages to the Pixel 4a (which was not used for anything else over the course of the experiment). I always sent the same message via Signal and #XMPP (mixing up which app went first). In total I sent ~32 messages in intervals of 10mins to a few hours.

Interesting test. Obviously only applies when you use Signal without priviledged push notifications via FCM through Google servers.

    No idea. Why not use XMPP? It’s better anyways 😜
