   Switched to CopperheadOS full time. Looks like signal lacks a few features without google play services installed. :/

      @timttmy so you don't need to install gapps to run signal anymore?. It was a dependency (long time ago)

         @ghostdancer @timttmy they did use some of the google infra structure to push messages - but I think they switched to use some of their own

               @ghostdancer @timttmy can you get an apk from their website ? I think they didn't like having it on f-droid as they sometimes took time to update the app

                     @theru @ghostdancer I cant see a download link on signal.org . Just a link to the play store.

         @ghostdancer My Nexus5x is gapps free and signal is working but I had a message pop up to say something like background message checks wouldn't work without gapps. But as I said it is working.
