Hi - completely new to this so apologies for naivete and if I've repeated other people's issues.
I installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 6 to try it out, looking for as de-googled as an experience as possible. I had to create a Google Sandbox user to host about six apps that refused to function. This is fine because they tend to be 'one-off use' (like Uber or Deliveroo) and not required to run in the background.
That said, I have two troublesome apps that seem to be working in the top (owner with no Google Services) user but - well aren't.
These are namely Proton Mail and Blink Camera. You can open both up and they function well. However, I'm getting no notifications from them (for new emails or camera activity respectively) and I'm pretty sure they're not running in the background - despite checking all their app permissions and notifications settings.
Has anyone else had this issue? And if so, how to solve it? (I'd rather not use the Google sandbox for these apps since having that user on all the time to monitor Proton and Blink seems to defeat the issue I moved to GrapheneOS for.)
Help would be much appreciated.
