#asknostr any ideas why the android signer #amber needs relays? Its a signer for other apps, for what purpuse would I add relays to it? Also this persistent notification makes me think it might be a battery drainer :) https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/546b924fb57b1b3b243092465a74333f536e18bf46ec63fdbc732d6b5719729d/0ae006ba4b824394e5edc604f31e23374958a4620306d181a5e245ed61f7c745.webp

Amber let's you use Bunker login on Nostr web apps, on your phone or other devices. The relay connection is part of that. As for battery usage it is always <1% on my phone.
And this relay.nsec.app handles this? Could I add my own relay here? Do you know of any good resource to learn more about how this works? :)
Yes, relay.nsec.app is the default for handling bunker/remote signing, but it can be configured to use a relay you choose. Not all relays accept the signing event types that are used for this signing method, though.
I go over both signing methods Amber uses in my full review of Amber at https://www.nostr-reviews.com.
