No notifications from Signal/Whatsapp until I open the app
Has anyone else come across this? I'm running 21-20240419-NIGHTLY-panther and I don't get notifications until I open the app, at least in Signal and WhatsApp, and I suspect Gmail too. I already set the apps to unrestricted battery usage (including the hard-to-find extra setting when you press to the left of the "Allow background usage" toggle ) and I disabled the "Battery Manager" (which I could only find by searching in settings, there doesn't appear to be a button for it in the settings, separately...)
Is there anything else I could try? I have a Pixel 7.
Do you have Google Play Services on your device? Because those particular applications need Google Play Services in order to send push notifications. Most apps use Google Play Services for notifications, but some such as Element, Tusky, and Thunder do not.
