When not using Google Play services (e.g. GrapheneOS, LineageOS users), Signal can be a real battery drain. Molly with UnifiedPush on the other hand is extremely battery efficient.

Here’s how to set this up, using Nextcloud as the UnifiedPush provider.

    Nice thanks for sharing! How much more battery preserving have you found molly to be? Signal is also on the top of my list in terms of most battery-draining apps, so a migration to Molly sounds nice (also on GOS).

    Also, nice blog! Subscribed via rss ☺️

      I sadly haven’t tracked precise battery usage for both Signal and Molly, to properly compare. I do believe it easily saves me 10 percent on my daily battery life, though.
