    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.
