How to get notifications from WhatsApp even without Google Play Services on?

Welp, my family refuses to use SimpleX. I'm still partially trapped at M*ta WhatsApp then. But I don't wanna turn GPS (GooglePlayServices) on.

If you care enough about privacy to not have the Google Play store installed, what on earth posesses you to have WhatsApp anywhere near your phone?

My family.

Given its history and ongoing lawsuits and investigations, I think that you might want to reconsider your perspective on privacy.

Privacy is like a chain, the weakest link is the end of it.

In my opinion, while there are serious concerns about Google, they pale into insignificance when compared with META.

I'd be less worried about the Play store and more worried about WhatsApp, but that's just me.

Aurora Store?

Huh?

Its an app to download stuff from play store. Not helpful for your question.

Just dont.

You still get push modifications, just with a little delay.

Actually it's the opposite.
