I installed #Signal and #Conversations_im on a clean install of #GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a and measured the battery impact. The results are shocking!Both messengers had only one contact: my regular phone.I used my regular phone to send messages to the Pixel 4a (which was not used for anything else over the course of the experiment).I always sent the same message via Signal and #XMPP (mixing up which app went first). In total I sent ~32 messages in intervals of 10mins to a few hours.

@daniel Truly shocking.What push mechanisms are you using for Signal and for Conversations?

@masoud Both have direct connections to their respective servers because #GrapheneOS comes without Play Services. Both apps prompted me for exemptions to "Battery optimizations" which I granted.On the sending side I made sure (by looking at the double ticks ✅ ) that the messages were delivered instantly.

@daniel I have had exactly the reversed scenario at times: Conversations draining like crazy while Signal was just fine. Sometimes the other way around. Never found an explanation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@cryptgoat @daniel same. i use signal from the directly downloaded apk with graphene, and it's one of the most energy efficient messengers of mine 🤷♀️
