And RCS is finally working again on GrapheneOS, eliminating a major excuse people use for why it's just too hard to switch.

Yeah, but you still have to use messages, right?

Yes, but those married to RCS are clearly not concerned about that.

True, I was just kinda hoping maybe graphene had found a way around that, that I hadn't heard about yet.

Rcs kinda sucks, but it would be nice to have it as an option. And messages isn't an option for me, sooooo lol

Biggest reason (iirc) its tied to Messages is because google's RCS server (which was not bound to a carrier) was the only option for a long time and that server is tied to Messages. Now that carriers are running their own RCS to support iOS and some carriers have had their android users migrated over from googles servers, there's much more incentive for apps other that Messages to support RCS.

Fingers crossed, gOS has said they are working on their own implementation.

Graphene is working on their own RCS app? Source on that?
