the battery issue just depends on your notification settings

Interesting, can you elaborate? Thanks!

they don't use GSF so instead give you different polling options for notifications

more polling=more battery usage

personally I set mine to only fetch messages when the app is open, and don't see anything untoward with regards to battery

Thanks for sharing, that is helpful!
