Also, break free from RCS and from participating in group chats with anyone you can’t convince to move to another platform.
I daily drive grapheneOS, and wouldn’t go back to iOS or Google-ed Android for anything, but it really sucked having to tell friends, family, and others I couldn’t participate in our old group chats anymore.
EDIT: Apparently, they released a fix over the weekend, as aoude pointed out in another comment. So it’s working for me on AT&T now.
I tried to switch to grapheneOS after my iPhone broke. RCS incompatibility is why I ended up purchasing another refurbished iPhone.
Managed to get my immediate family to try out Signal, but the fact that EXIF data was stripped from photos made it a no-go. We share photos in our group chat very often, and photos saved from Signal having the wrong date/time and no location drove them bonkers.
Outside of immediate family, most of my friends would only communicate through Discord…yeah, no thanks, I’d rather use iMessage lol.

Totally understood. It wasnt a deal-breaker for me, but I can see how it would be for others.
I’ve seen on the grapheneOS discuss boards that some people have gotten it to work, but none of their fixes have worked for me.

It worked! I’ll update my original comment! Thank you again!
I’m on AT&T so I will definitely try it!
Thank you!
