Session messenger android client currently feels unpolished while simplex seems to require it to run in the background for instant notifications. Is there an alternative that is better than those 2?

    Define your criteria for an ideal messenger. What do you need actually? What’s your security requirement?

      Probably something that does not require a phone number while still using google firebase notification system? Basically a less buggy version of session messenger.

          To save battery life I suppose. Also some phones may kill a background app even when told not to thus preventing messages from being received.

            Most of the time this can disabled somewhere in the app permissions. i have done this for a couple of apps without much issue.
