[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1051659, member: 39702"] I know it's closed source, but at least Google is trustworthy enough. I just set up an account on it, but for some reason, push notifications are only available for Microsoft 365 account, not for my Outlook.com private e-mail address. Is there a way to fix this? I need the push notifications. Also, battery saver is disabled for Gmail (as it asked).
