Signal requires GPS for push, too, but if GPS isn't available, it uses persistent notifications to stay "active". It uses a bit more battery, theoretically, but I really haven't noticed a difference.
Ah, ok, cool! I'm just so used to using cli adb, I didn't even think to search for another solution. I'm glad more exist!
I don't use Signal anymore.
You're welcome :)
I added that part of the comment to showcase a way that a messaging app could use to avoid the requirement of gps, in case Wire has something similar in the settings, is all. I wasn't suggesting you switch : )
Oh, okay :)
