The title... I'd like to get RCS working. Wondering how, and if I have to use Google messages, what privacy beyond google seeing all the messages am I giving up?
I started using Graphene on a Pixel 9 Fold few months ago (from an iphone). Loving it. I am not logged into any google services on the phone, and am using the built in Messaging app for SMS. Sandboxed Play Services is running. My problem/need is that I have a few friend group RCS chats that I no longer see, and can't convince the larger groups to use a platform more sensible. I've had get them change the group to SMS, but the group chats seem to revert to RCS as soon as anyone on the chat sends an img or vid that requires RCS. So it's either stay out of these group chats or find a way to use RCS. That's where I'm at. I know there are a bunch of threads on RCS, but I didn't see this answered.
Just trying to understand how to enable RCS on Graphene, if I even can. Thanks.
