I want to add that WhatsApp doesn’t send message content within notifications either.
I know WhatsApp isn’t very popular around here (for valid reasons), but it uses end-to-end encryption, notifications or not.

That’s why you should disable notifications for apps who shows sensitive information.
Signal does a good way of doing it they only signal (hehe) their app that their is a notification, then the apps gets this information itself.

At least they say they do, but we can’t really verify that.

Well they say they don’t but when the police wants insight on the conversations they will get it quick.

What I wonder about is if the push notifications are ‘sent’ anyway, ie through the network and the phone just doesn’t do anything with them? Does anyone know?

Awesome, thanks for the source!

Exactly. The issue is that the app still sends the notification to the cloud server. The cloud server doesn’t forward that notif to your device if you have notifs turned off, but it still gets sent to the server regardless. Which means it’s still subject to be shared with the government.

I was wondering how Signal handles this. Thanks for the info.
