Comment on There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works
scarilog@lemmy.world 11 months agoYeah I know I was referring to the notifications, because my understanding is that you need a separate server to forward notifications to your device from the APN…? Idk maybe the firebase free tier can handle this without the need for a desktop app running somewhere.

Notifications are generated after the message is pulled from Apple’s servers to your device.
The push messages just tell your device a message is available to be pulled. It doesn’t contain any message contents or metadata.
