How do notifications work in the official Telegram Android app (Play Store vs Site version maybe)? Does it have the same mechanism as Signal, which only recognizes the presence of notifications via Google services, but sends them via its web socket service?

They are priv apps, I believe it's the same as root

Most of the privacy apps don't require you to have gapps and their notifications

    No, they don't have the same privileges as root permissions. this is easily demonstrated by the camera app built into LineageOS when you enable ignore mode for camera in App Ops and it crashes. and google services also start making very untypical requests for access to stuff.

    Yes, but there aren't many apps that respect privacy on my phone compared to the usual ones).
