Signal on the Google play store isn’t FOSS but it facilitates the delivery of notifications to the user. The protocol itself is open source and notifications are handled securely even with Google play services on the phone. If you want a FOSS version, use the APK on their website, it has an auto updater.
Well signal is full of proprietary software even though its core is Foss. That’s why molly doesn’t support absolutely proprietary operating systems

I use molly because it has a F-droid repo and is more trustworthy in my mind
Sorry, but an external repo added to F-Droid does nothing for your security. Even proprietary garbage can be on F-Droid as an added repo.
Molly doesn’t really remove the proprietary Google parts unless you download the FOSS version
It simply isn’t for iOS, because they didn’t develop a version for iOS
The one anti-spam module in the server code and… what else is proprietary?
FCM? The thing they need to give android users (with Google play services installed) notifications?
