<p>How does it work? When the app is first started on an Android device, it starts the background service that keeps the TCP connections to the messaging servers open with almost no traffic (only doing periodic checks that connections still exist). It consumes only a few percents of battery per day, depending on how stable your internet connection is, and delivers message notifications as soon as messages arrive.</p>
<p>This service continues running when the app is switched off, and it is restarted when the device is restarted even if you don't open the app - so the message notifications arrive instantly every time. To maximize battery life, it can be turned off by switching off &quot;Private notifications&quot;. You will still receive notifications while the app is running or in the background.</p>
<p>So, for Android we can now deliver instant message notifications without compromising users' privacy in any way. The app version 1.5 that includes private instant notifications is now available on <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=chat.simplex.app">Play Store</a>, in our <a href="https://app.simplex.chat/">F-Droid repo</a> and via direct <a href="https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases/latest/download/simplex.apk">APK</a> downloads!</p>
<p>Please let us what needs to be improved - it's only the first version of instant notifications for Android!</p>

<h2 id="our-ios-approach-has-one-trade-off" tabindex="-1">Our iOS approach has one trade-off</h2>
<p>iOS is much more protective of what apps are allowed to run on the devices, and the solution that worked on Android is not viable on iOS.</p>
<p>We already have background refresh in the iOS app that periodically checks for new messages, and if you use the app every day it delivers notifications within 10 or 20 minutes. It is not instant, but it may be usable for some. If you use the app infrequently, however, this delay can become several hours, or your phone may stop checking for the new messages completely. This is not ideal!</p>
