"In a statement given to Reuters, Apple said that Wyden's letter gave them the opening they needed to share more details with the public about how governments monitored push notifications."
I run unified push on my Nextcloud server with app on device called Nextpush. This is used by some apps I use.
Some apps use web sockets, but I understand this is resource consumptive when constantly running in the background.
Some apps are able to piggy back on my Cheogram app for push notifications.
I use an Android fork without any Google Play Services. I don't know what is possible with Iphones.
I would assume that just prevents the display on your phone. Apps still send attempts at notifications through Apple servers I believe. This might work if you disable them in the app itself instead of your phone settings

This is apple's response/acknowledgement to the senator's revelation, unless Reuters updated the article

So what solutions do we have?

So, just disable push notifications -> No tracking?
