I have a Fairphone 6 with /e/os and it was great until I found out it has no RCS support, and every time someone with real Android or iOS sends a group text you get nothing and they don’t know you didn’t get it. For it to be workable you have to go around begging your friend to turn off RCS on their end and good luck with that.

…or rooting the phone, but google comes up with new bs every month to keep you on your toes. the only solution is to force the friend group to get another app.

personly i used rcs for a week, and got like 5 spam messages, so i deleted the google sms app and been using fossify since.
