There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yeah I know I was referring to the notifications, because my understanding is that you need a separate server to forward notifications to your device from the APN...? Idk maybe the firebase free tier can handle this without the need for a desktop app running somewhere.
Notifications are generated after the message is pulled from Apple's servers to your device.
The push messages just tell your device a message is available to be pulled. It doesn't contain any message contents or metadata.
It's basically just "you have a new message waiting" and then your phone will ping Apple's server to request the message.
