theres also notification scandal recently which i think the op doesnt know about
It was always known, in the threat model.
Though I think everyone assumed Google required a warrant.
Even without Google, Apple's participation and push notifications - signal still has the same capability. Simply because they've created a centralized architecture.
Anyway on Windows, Apple there is no sense to have a privacy apps if the OS it self pump everything it can.
And on Android it only make sense if you use an AOSP rom, or another but without the google crapware..
