UnifiedPush support has been announced for Element X, and NeoChat
This week, next gen @element@mastodon.matrix.org client, Element-X, and @neochat@kde.social announced they are supporting #UnifiedPush. This makes 2 more @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org clients supporting it ! NeoChat the second Linux app officially supporting UnifiedPush, after @tokodon@kde.social #...
The official announcement was mentioned in Matrix's blog post:
Next release 0.4.2 should also be published on F-Droid with push support using UnifiedPush.
In other news, thanks to Joshua, NeoChat now supports push notifications based on UnifiedPush.
Interestingly, the Element X issue regarding implementing UnifiedPush, has not been updated, and there is no related merge request that I can find. NeoChat appears to have their changes buried in merge requests.

I've used UP for months with regular element and other apps. Works perfectly fine via ntfy. Excited to see more apps using it.

3 0 ReplySorry, but I'm using Lineage OS without Gapps and everything goes good, any notifications works in Element .... 🤔
2 0 ReplyYou are forgiven. Element constantly runs a worker to check for new messages on the FOSS version (depending on your configuration), unlike PUSH which just sits idle and listen for new messages.
