Signal Messenger does use Google and Amazon services, so these requests wouldn't surprise me.
It's one of the reasons why I don't use Signal.

I know what Signal is and how it works, thanks. I didn't say anything about the server operators spying on me.

What do you use then?

Signal uses AWS as a backend. It also uses firebase for push notifications by default, meaning Google can tell whenever you get a notification!

So... should I just turn off Signal's notifications?

You could use Molly-FOSS, a fork of the signal client, to use Unifiedpush and receive notifications through a provider like ntfy (selfhostable) or sunup (which uses Mozilla by default)

Use Molly-FOSS on fdroid. Signal with AWS backend removed
