It does work on GrapheneOS, but you need to have Google Play Services installed.
Comment on iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18

As a GrapheneOS user, It would be nice if they made it available to their android platforms first.

Google blocked it.

That is only on rooted roms and ones using MicroG. GrapheneOS is generally not rooted and uses Google Play Services by sandboxing it. I am using RCS on my Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS.

ALL my android buds (all 3 of them) would talk about RCS as the future, better than iMessage, proof that Apple is terrible for not having it and adding it.
So anyways my iPhone has RCS now and none of their androids do. Shocker.

Every android that has Google Play services has RCS, they just need Google Messages to use it.

RCS is not the future it’s just a WhatsApp like app included inside the messages app. Google servers, closed source, centralized…
