Polling is the traditional pull-based approach of checking for new events at an interval. This is badly suited to mobile devices for anything more than very infrequent checks. Apps using infrequent polling are supposed to use the - JobScheduler service. A minority of apps may only be able to use Firebase - WorkManager or the legacy Firebase JobDispatcher. Most apps doing this should - work fine on GrapheneOS. An example of an app needing to use this approach is - a feed reader for RSS/Atom feeds or an email client dealing with legacy email - servers without IMAP IDLE push support.
