>switch to google or lose all your messages teeheewhat the FUCK
>>108543474they announced it two years agogoogle rcs is not open. google does not allow you to use it without a deal.accept your new messaging overlords.
>>108543474>Applicable to the US Market Only>Users of an older Android OS are not affected by this End of Servicelmao wtf
>>108543698rcs probably only matters in the us because it's the only country who stuck with text messaging
Fossify Messages is what you seek.
>>108543474noo, I liked having confusing duplicate apps where I have to guess if its samsung or google.
>>108543474samsung default apps are great. what does applicable to the us only mean, canada is fine?
>>108543474> uses messages
who gives a shit
>>108543474samsung should just make their own os theyre being massively held back
>>108543726There is nothing wrong with text messaging
>>108544475Instead of what?
>>108544540Whatsapp. Telegram/Signal/whatever the fuck is trending these days if you're a schizo and care about "privacy". WeChat if you're chinese. I've literally never seen a single person outside of the US use SMS/RCS other than for reading one-time codes.
>>108544558>Whatsapp.>Telegram/Signal>wechat
>>108544531every video sent through sms is a blurry mess. all android phones should be using Google messages for rcs
>>108544591go take your meds
>>108544511they did and it failed
>tfw by a quirk of history usa telecoms were quicker to offer ~free unlimited texting~ with their plans before other places so there was no mass flight to alternate servicesdealing with the fallout of this for decades now baka
who the fuck still uses samsung like where have u been lmaooo
>>108544673Sent from my iPhone
>>108543474If you use samsung-anything then why does google bother you?https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2025/11/budget-samsung-phones-shipped-with-unremovable-spyware-say-researchers
google's apps are better. now you can use messages.google.com.
>>108543474There are hundreds of messaging apps for android, you can use the you want and it doesn't even matter because the messages are not stored by the app.
>green bubbles
>>108543474this happened months and months ago, never looked back. google messages works fine.
>>108544146Is Canada part of the US?You cannot possibly be this retarded
>>108544786I thought that only happened in the middle east
>>108544531>video failed to send, couldn't be resizedlmao
>>108543474Ummm what the fuck? Im not using googles "whatsapp". What the fuck am I gonna do to send texts now?
>>108543474You're literally using the worst android phone on the market with its stock ROM and stock SMS app? LOL>>108543726Every country uses SMS and the alternatives are all a million times worse>>108543915This or QUIK
>>108544511It'd be even more useless than iOS, modern samsung is beyond dogshit, they already do their additional lockdown im pretty sure google gets some of their ideas from them>>108544558oh yeah insane spyware, SMS is the only acceptable compromise to communicate with normies>>108544610In most countries MMS isnt even supported at all. I bet you're the same retard who shows ID to go on discord because you're too lazy or stupid to upload videos on a file host and share the link on IRC or whatever, oh wow I can SMS a link to a 8K YT video or ProRes file on my NAS crazy
>>108543474He won
>>108547443Installing a third party text messaging app?
>>108547454yes, Saar, samsung is the WORST. they should upgrade to xiaomi or honor. maybe poco if they game!
>>108548266samsung is as bad if not worse than all the chinese trash now with their lockdown bloat and spywareSony is the only usable modern hardware, Graphene is the only usable modern software (excluding non-Android based things, those are cool)fucking retardModern phones are all dogshit.
>>108544531>there is NOTHING wrong with text messagingAll text messages as monitored and can be viewed in real-time. 0 encryption. 0 privacy. 0 security. But, it's okay bcuz I have NOTHING to hide
>>108548297all designed and created for spying. Imagine spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars to be spied on and told you aren't allowed to do what you want to the device you bought. kek
>>108548297americans walk into the verizon store and pick a phone. apple, google, or samsung or some cheap moto shit that barely works. sony isn't an option. graphene may be great, but to use it you are rewarding google. google hardware sucks. the tensor chip runs hot, eats battery, and is slow.
>>108547182why would they turn it off in just one country? makes zero sense. if I go to buffalo for the weekend will the app suddenly disappear then show back up again when I cross the border?
>>108544558>don't contact your contacts via the phone number you also have for calls>install these apps and create an account or 12 insteadRetard.
>>108547454Matrix is pretty cozy
>>108548445>you HAVE to install this app and make an account for it because DA GUBBAMINT DA SEA EYE AYE DA LOIBRULS are going to monitor you saying hi to your mom
>>108543915This, I swapped most of the default Google shit with Fossify equivalents the second I got my phone.
>>108549479>service is discontinuedIt doesn't say it will be removed, damn pearl clutchers. Shit will still just werk.
>>108547460Anon it doesn't matter if he can upload videos to a file host when it's other people that are sending the videos.My mum was still sending me compressed videos/photos using MMS until RCS was enabled by default in 2023, I made a fucking facebook account just because I knew she used messenger, and yet she would still occasionally send videos over MMS instead...As for why I didn't enable RCS on her phone, auto SMS fallback used to never fucking work, and more than once I had google messages randomly think some of my contacts were using RCS when they weren't (two were iPhone users so no rcs back then, we don't have carrier RCS, and I had a Pixel 5 not some chink phone).
>>108549509They are too stupid for Matrix though
>>108543650>>108544146>>108544511>>108544786Samsung's messenger literally sent your entire photo gallery to random peopleGood riddance
>>108548445>so use whatsapp like a dumb dirty 3rd worlder insteadtext messaging is superior
>>108547404Who cares? It is a breach of trust. An unforgivable one for anyone with a brain.
SMS is the only acceptable compromise to speak to normies, I mean it does suck, carriers do spy aswell,and it costs money, so maybe its just bc im used to it, but SMS will always be a million times less evil than anything newer than it that normies use. I will never ever go near anything zucced.iMessage is one of the biggest scam Apple pulled. They couldve just had a separate SMS and iMessage app but the niggercattle userbase they cultivate thats too complex for them so they need to do this bs where they trick you in the background, WTF you mean youre leaking my iTunes account to my phone contacts when i try to send SMS when did I consent to that? iMessage sounds so retarded its the first thing id disable on an iPhone. Now instead of laughing this bs out of the world now Google after 20 failed messengers instead of giving up finally figured out they could pull this same scam to redirect SMS and I fear their scam just like Apples is finally gonna work. This is going to have bad consequences if they get away with it. It already blew my mind when I ran into even companies posting phone numbers and you try to call/SMS it and it says its whatsapp only, WTF is wrong with you, put it in clear fucking writing and the username that its for zuccbook, I see a phone number and youre telling me its not actually one? what kind of mental illness is that? This is going to become the norm, if RCS takes off, Google will literally own all phone communication overnight and since it takes ISP integration once enough are onboard theyll probably shut down SMS entirely.Are you using an old/degoogled/etc phone? Too fucking bad just to send"SMS"now that yesterday worked on your $20 20 year old phone with 5$ prepaid you need to spend $1000 and accept the google surveillance policy.>>108548470this is why i stopped using smartphones, niggercattle device>>108551660phone users are not known for having brains,otherwise the industry and the world as a whole would not be in the state that it is
>>108549519Unfortunately, this is the truth. It's despicable. There are very private and secure alternatives, though.
>>108551184Only a retarded faggot kike would post this.>>108555016Jeez he doesn't know
>>108555016jfc how the fuck do I unsubscribe from your blog? anyway, I run my own encrypted call/video/text/voice messaging service with my family, already. They don't use text to reach out to me and vice versa. As a matter of fact, my sister called me yesterday on the server talking about how she can't stand ppl who text her via SMS and when they think you're supposed to be available and respond IMMEDIATELY. Always on all and reachable. We use our phones (daily drivers and former ewaste phones) as landlines and it only takes an hour to set up and is COMPLETELY private and secure.
>>108543474Android has a separate message store that is shared between all messaging apps you can find autist
