    @protonmail Proton claims to be a privacy oriented company and yet their email app doesn’t show push notifications without Google Play Services means you will either have to use Google Play Services or live without push notifications (if you are using a degoogled phone). If Tutanota app could show push notifications without Google Play Services, it is definitely possible. What a joke!!

      @SoulKeeper While we rely on Google Play Store services for push notifications, they are end-to-end encrypted. To stay private when using Proton Mail on an Android phone, we recommend trying some of these tips: https://proton.me/blog/android-privacy .

      We are also working on a complete rewrite of our Android app, which will allow for the improved functionalities and features to be added.

        @dwindling7373 That’s not the point. I can also use Sandboxed Google Play Services on my device which is superior to MicroG. But I do not want anything related to Google on my degoogled phone. Proton talk so much about privacy and anonymity and yet they rely on GCM for notification. Tutanota being a small company could get rid of GCM but Proton being such a big company is still relying on Google for push notification.
