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?
Probably something that does not require a phone number while still using google firebase notification system? Basically a less buggy version of session messenger.
google firebase notification system
Why though? If a app has its own implementation this is a non issue really.
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.
