Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features
wavebeam@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I tried to switch from iPhone to Pixel 10 Pro Fold with GrapheneOS, but I needed RCS to work. Unfortunately, even installing Google Messages and allowing it permissions wouldn’t allow RCS to work for more than 36 hours before I had to go through the whole install and allow process again. I would be willing to cut off all Google services, even banking apps and whatnot, but I need RCS to work. I’m unfortunately an American and cannot reliably expect my friends and family to use an app other than iMessage to text, so I need RCS.
Will Motorola provide some GrapheneOS compatible RCS client? If so, I am likely to switch.

Could force them to use Signal perhaps

Yeah, see that’s the thing that I think people don’t really understand about americans. They won’t. I will be essentially excommunicated. I already mostly am because I don’t use Facebook or Instagram. Cutting off decent messaging by leaving imessage without at least maintaining RCS would really cut me off.

Sorry for necroing, but why can’t you fall back to SMS? There are plenty reliable FOSS SMS messaging apps.

American here, I’ve been insisting on signal for years and it’s going fine. If you’re cool enough people will follow your lead eventually, it’s a better experience and everyone else waiting to switch is being held back by the same excuse. Take your good posts and go home (to open platforms)

This right here, I have never had any luck moving a single person I currently communicate with from iMessage. Dating makes this even more complicated.

Lol fr. Well I’m not a dater person by any means but my mindset is they kinda have to be tight friends with you first right? Unless you date around like crazy and don’t develop actual connections

I got a few of my best buds on Signal (I am American). Told these guys I got no social media and basically Signal is iMessage for Androids
