TLDR: signal content in Apple notification can be retrieved even after signal app deletion. I saw from this reddit thread: Signal messages retrieved from iPhone after uninstalling app. : signal Referencing this news article: Pretti Killing May Affect ICE Prairieland "Antifa Cell" Terrorism Trial The mention of signal is in court documents here: March 10: Federal Trial Day 12 - Support the Prairieland Defendants

Signal chat evidence from Sharp’s device (Exhibit 158): Messages were recovered from Sharp’s phone through Apple’s internal notification storage — Signal had been removed, but incoming notifications were preserved in internal memory. Only incoming messages were captured (no outgoing).

When I saw it hit the news before, it was because they were reading notifications off Google servers, which contained at least part of the message. Not because they were reading the device's notification history.
