When not using Google Play services (e.g. GrapheneOS, LineageOS users), Signal can be a real battery drain. Molly with UnifiedPush on the other hand is extremely battery efficient.

I sadly haven’t tracked precise battery usage for both Signal and Molly, to properly compare. I do believe it easily saves me 10 percent on my daily battery life, though.
