Gluca23 try to set battery to optimize, storage scope is working on my side...

I set battery to "restriction" but i can't see the Storage Scope option.

Molly-FOSS and Signal without Play Services must have battery optimisation exception so as to be able to maintain an open websocket connection for push notifications to work.
Signal and derivatives setup as above will show high percentage battery usage but its a percentage of a whole and just one abstract metric.
You need to balance it off based on functionality provided, time between charges, screen on time, brightness setting etc etc.
Don't just jump to the wrong conclusion over one stat. Take a whole picture approach.
My 6a can get 36 hours, 6-7 screen on time (dependent on brightness) with Signal/Whatsapp battery unrestricted as well as use of everything else I need with switching in and out of my Play Services profile as required.

Gluca23 mine molly-foss is set to optimisation and storage scope to the file folders I may need to upload
italian_job Where is the option for enable the "Storage Scope"? I can't find it under "App Info" or Molly settings...
Gluca23 well, I see this in /Settings/App/ Molly...
italian_job Ok, it show up only after giver permission to use pics/video to the app.
Now I've set battery with restriction, no problem in getting immediate notification
