This is a good video explaining things, for anyone who doesn’t know about the situation Apple created.

Eventually, the list of things Samsung doesn’t make is going to be shorter.
Don’t negotiate with or give in to terrorists!
It’s both amazing and annoying that Google is perfectly able to create useful apps for iOS (despite the huge limitations the OS imposes) but Apple can’t figure out how to make any Android app that isn’t utter crap with fewer restrictions imposed on them.
Installing from F-Droid prevents sales like this from causing silent “upgrades” to advertising-infested versions.
There were two SMS mistakes by Signal:
Try out any of these:
- Session @session
- SimpleX @simplex
- Threema @threemaappThey all don’t require a phone number, which makes them immediately better than Signal, for devices that don’t have a SIM.
> I would argue that bad experiences aren’t due to trains but due to poor investment and management.
I agree. I used trains to get to school as a commuter.
Nothing makes a train more unusable than not knowing when it will arrive at the destination (it was sometimes hours late) or if it will show up at all (the schedule was constantly changing, and some trains would just be cancelled when equipment was broken).
Google and Samsung were the only apps to implement RCS (and the infrastructure to support the app) so far.
Nothing Google has done prevents any other organizations that want to invest the time and money from also implementing the standard.

Apple, on the other hand, doesn’t allow iMessage apps or servers that they didn’t create themselves. Or even an SMS/RCS app on their devices.
RCS has always been an open standard.
Only Google has done the work to implement it for billions of devices, so far.
That has never prevented Apple from also implementing the standard on their devices.
RCS is already an open standard, that’s why Apple is and always has been able to implement it themselves without relying on Google for anything.
I surely do!
Try Session or SimpleX or Threema.
Threema is the oldest and most polished option. You do have to buy a license for a one-time fee though. It’s entirely worth the play store credit I spent, but if I were to buy now, I’d use their website store so I could use the open source app instead.
You can get good battery life from a Pixel 6, 7, or 8 series device even with stock Android.
It only gets better when flashing a custom OS, particularly GrapheneOS, because you have more control over which apps can be running or using the network / location chips because radio or location can chew through battery charge very quickly.
This video covers most of your questions.

The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is the base for both operating systems.
GrapheneOS actually makes a lot of effort to provide solutions that are mostly better than what stock Android provides.
@GrapheneOS is an alternative OS that provides better privacy than the stock Android that can be installed on Pixel devices.

For Signal, they will know when and how often you receive Signal messages.
Notifications are used to “activate” the app on your device. Then it will connect to Signal servers and download the encrypted messages.
After the software on your device decrypted the message, then it has the sender details and message content.
There are settings to control how much of that information is used when creating the local notification. Because other apps might log notifications.
