@rustoleumlove@mastodon.online @derekmorr@mastodon.social From my understanding, Signal's push notifications just act as a way to wake up the device. Then, the app fetches the encrypted content from Signal's server, decrypt it locally, and generate a local notification with the decrypted content.

@imkh@mastodon.social @rustoleumlove@mastodon.online that's right. The push notification had an empty body. So all Google or Apple sees is that you got a message on Signal at a certain time.
