GrapheneOS I suppose most people here only noticed the RCS failure after september 8th because RCS messages do not arrive in a predictable pattern; in any case, this one looks more like a global "RCS outage" than a GrapheneOS-specific bug — as I read more and more generic Android forums, it seems something went wrong on Google's side in the last weeks.
I hope that now that Amit Mehta —a FISA court judge— has ruled that Google does not need to sell the Android and Chrome divisions, everything will return to the way it was before.
