if you use GrapheneOS on a pixel device, is it something you'd recommend for a privacy worried user? How seamless is running it after install? (lemmy.ml)

Did not even know what RCS is. I would bother the least with this "service".

And I am aware of the banking apps, this is one reason why I don't use their "apps". Internet banking in web browser is the way.

And my country is so aloof from the civilisation that wallet/tap whatever are not even allowed. Blissfully ignorant.

    Cool on not needing the others 👍

    But RCS is a standard and recommended to use, for both QoL, but also security. SMS is less secure and means chats with family aren't E2EE. So unless you use some sort of other communication method like the Signal app, WhatsApp (w/ E2EE enabled), Threema, Matrix, etc. your chats aren't secure. Privacy is a whole separate question, and depends on your provider (i.e. Whatsapp is owned by Meta, which is the worst company for privacy.)

    Please use RCS, or some form of E2EE

    I think nobody here uses RCS. SMS is also old fashioned. I rarely text others to be honest. I ask others to come to signal but people are intoxicated with meta family. And Viber. I think Viber has e2ee enabled by default. Not sure for same if they upload the chat to g drive...
