Their claims about push notifications on Android compared to iOS are completely false. Both Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) function in a similar way with similar privacy. However, Android does not force using FCM and apps can use other push systems.

"The modern Firebase Cloud Messaging is actually still XMPP-based to this day, though. Of course, it has been separated from Google Talk now."

man, what??

Play Store policy coerces apps into using Firebase Cloud Messaging for push messaging including push notifications. Having every app sharing the same push connection is very efficient. Multiple push connections are inherently less efficient and many implementations of this aren't power efficient.

Apple records which apps people install and requires an account to use their app store. Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) has comparable privacy to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). However, iOS apps must use APNs for push while Android apps do not have to use FCM.
While you can write something like this for Android, it will never be 💯 anonymous because to send notifications to an Android device you need to store user’s device IDs, which leads to user accounts.

This information is discoverable via subpoena.

It’s not that we can’t do it. We won’t.

we have ~132 devices that don't use Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging for mobile app notifications

that's neat I think

Isso acontece pq o push notification é um serviço de terceiros. Não sei o caso do Twitter, mas é comum os apps consumirem o Firebase Cloud Messaging, One Signal ou Apple Push Notification. Não tem como o Xandão bloquear.
Você também estão recebendo notificações do Twitter, como se estivesse funcionando normalmente?

Toda a hora chega aqui.

Isso é normal ou paranormal?

This isn't less private on Android. On iOS, using the Apple Push Notification Service is the only way to do push messaging / push notifications. On Android, Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging is one option among many. Android apps can also implement their own push or use a UnifiedPush provider.

testing push notifications on iOS: here's a helpful CLI command!

testing push notifications on Android:
- create a firebase account
- add a google-services.json to app
- go enable cloud messaging in google cloud control panel
- generate a server key
- find a website to send a payload for you

Das Bundesrechenzentrum, eine staatliche Organisation, verwendet anscheinend Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging für push notifications.

Wenn die das für interne Apps auch verwenden, leitet der Staat Österreich interne push notifications über Google weiter. Nice.

iOS requires using the Apple Push Notification Service for push notifications which has similar privacy issues as Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging. Android does not require using Firebase Cloud Messaging for push. Apple is aware which apps people install and requires accounts to install apps.

Installing sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS results in having a push connection for Firebase Cloud Messaging and doing a lot more work in the background. Idle power usage will still tend to be better than the stock Pixel OS, but adding more apps to match their bloatware will make it comparable.

Pq é mais fácil fazer tracking, segmentar e notificar os usuários usando o App (por exemplo: web push notifications com o firebase cloud messaging não funcionava no iOS até pouco tempo atrás, não sei se mudaram, fora a resistência dos usuários com push notifications pra web)

For example, Google could include fallback code in the Firebase Cloud Messaging library to support receiving push messages through a service run by the app itself. Google could also support using Play services and Play Store as sandboxed apps. We've shown it works fine that way.

The data it collects:
- Anonymous error reports when the app crashes
- Your bluesky handle
- Which accounts you have notifications turned on for
- A special ID that it uses to send push notifications via google's "Firebase Cloud Messaging" service
