"Apps like Signal" is an exaggeration. Practically all programs do that. This has always been about metadata.

If the entire push is "you have a new message", then the only metadata in the push is the timestamp, who it's pushed to, and what app it's for, right?

Like a poster in a previous thread say, the "only" in "only metadata" is outright malicious. It's more than enough.
