that is the documentation of firebase, not signal. firebase just shows a common example there that is easy to implement for beginners and lazy devs. but developers can send whatever they want through firebase. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what facebook messenger is doing, but if a developer cares about their users privacy, they can just send a simple message through firebase, and make the app so that when receiving that, it checks for new messages by itself.
this is what the molly fork does with unifiedpush. the UP server, commonly ntfy.sh, only sees that the mollysocket server sent this to your molly client:
I did not claim so. but when your phone is confiscated, it's possible to read that out
Why are you using an example molly client using unified push on a post about Signal?
Signal isn't molly and cannot unified push at all.
Can you point to signal source code with this implementation?
