    Came to say this. It’s fucked up.

    And as a grapheme user, I can’t even use the Google Messages app for RCS. Which is even more crazy. It’s truly: give us complete control or else

      You frustration is born of a similar issue to mine. I’m running stock Android but rooted and I have to use two Magisk modules to obtain the ability to use RCS. However about once a month Google does something to break the ability to use RCS and I have to disable it for a day or two while the maintainers figure out a way around it.
