First of all i have to admit, that i'm not super tech savy, but am able to solve some problems by searching via google or reddit and following instructions and solutions.
My girlfriend got herself a google Pixel 10 and was interested in a more secure OS. So i convinced her to let me install GrapheneOS for her. She askes me to transfer her huge "collection" of SMS Messages.That's a huge pile of messages, none of which she has ever deleted. However, some messages are important to her, according to her, and she finds them using the search function, which she uses to search for senders or specific keywords, for example.
I transfered all the collected messages (3000) via "SMS backup and restore" to the new Phone.
I then installed Google messages but discovered, that you cant search the messages for certin keywords, which makes it basically useless for her. It wont find a single message with the words im looking for.
i have read that many people are having problems with google messages and something calles RCS. Does that have anything to do with the search function not working? Or is it maybe just a setting in the OS, that i havent found yet?
Is there a way to make the search function of google messages work properly on Graphene, like it does on Android? Or can you guys recommend another good app for managing messages, which has a proper search function?
