- I also stopped using Instagram and TikTok
its difficult to start, but the satisfaction afterwards is very good
Gone grapheneOS here, having trouble with not receiving texts from iPhone users because they don’t know their phone’s SMS is off. Anyone else?
You mean you went from iPhone to GrapheneOS?
No. I went from Android to GrapheneOS. Have clients on iPhone. I’m now using stock messages on grapheneOS instead of Google message. IPhone seems to have default settings with SMS protocols off
I’ve noticed QUIK has better support than the stock messages app. It might be worth checking out.
That is weird. I recall users having trouble after switching from iPhone to Android a couple years back - root cause was their number still being associated with iMessage, so texts from an iPhone went nowhere.
It’s possible to disable RCS and MMS. I don’t even see the option of SMS being disabled.
