iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18 (chromeunboxed.com)

As a GrapheneOS user, It would be nice if they made it available to their android platforms first.

RCS is not the future it's just a WhatsApp like app included inside the messages app. Google servers, closed source, centralized....

It does work on GrapheneOS, but you need to have Google Play Services installed.

That is only on rooted roms and ones using MicroG. GrapheneOS is generally not rooted and uses Google Play Services by sandboxing it. I am using RCS on my Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS.
