Hi guys basically as the title says. I have a pixel phone running GrapheneOS and I really don’t want to install Play Services. Is there an alternative for me?

So it’s either a persistent notification or allowing the app to constantly running in the background. Does it have a significant battery impact?
On my device, I let the app just constantly hang out in the background with a persistent notification that I have turned off, but it does not have a significant battery impact for me at all. So your mileage may vary. Some people say that it has significant impact, and some people like me, it doesn’t impact hardly at all.
yes, it has a “significant” impact on battery. i don’t know why the other comment claims otherwise.
it’s worth it for me, so i accept that “impact”.
For some people it doesn’t, and for others it does. So your mileage may vary. For example, with me, I have seen no significant battery impact, and I’ve been running it this way for several years.
Doesn’t have a significant impact. Using Telegram (though third party OSS client called Forkgram) and Signal without Play services on pixel as well.
