I am wondering if realtime can work if the app is in the background. For instance if uber drivers can go to a different app to answer a message but still receive a request.

Does appwrite offer that? If not, what could be a possible solution to that?

TL;DR
Developers are unsure if realtime communication works in the background with Appwrite. They want to know if drivers using a different app can still receive requests. Appwrite does not support this natively, but a possible solution could be implementing WebSockets or push notifications to enable real-time updates in the background.
