The current messaging app doesn't even have a search function. This is well overdue.

Implementing RCS properly and reliably is what I need to finally get my wife to switch. Hope this happens soon and would be amazing.

These are welcome changes but I hope they will address the elephant in the room sooner or later. They can't go on depending on Pixels and hardware memory tagging. They need a roadmap for opening up the project to more phone models and they need it yesterday.

They've drummed up some publicity with the journalist debacle so it's a good time to use that. But people who hear about Graphene will want to have some phone choices. "Get an old Pixel" is about to age like milk.

I don't mind finding alternative apps for my gallery and etc but RCS would be amazing. And I'm not sure it's feasible for a third party app right now so Graphene itself doing it will be awesome!

RCS planned, I'm all for it

If I'm reading the clipboard part right, and seems people on the forms are thinking the same;

If an app can only access clipboard content that it set, does that mean we can't copy/paste between apps? That would be ridiculous. Does the act of pressing "paste" over right the block, and GrapheneOS will only block the background access apps have?

I like IOS approach, where it asks you before pasting "this app is trying to copy from another app", and you can allow or decline it. But it is really annoying sometimes.

This is good news

In the longer term, we plan to add support for RCS including support for the standard end-to-end encryption (E2EE)

thank god i can finally ditch google messages if i want rcs

The important distinction to me is whether clipboard access is user-initiated or happens silently in the background. Explicit paste should stay frictionless, while background reads are where tighter controls make sense. If GrapheneOS can enforce that boundary without adding an iOS-style prompt every time, that seems like a strong compromise.

I am reading through lines and I seem to be stuck confused. Why isn't the whole clipboard partitioned?

Example: Youtube - separate array(whatever) holding its clipboard Facebook - separate array(whatever) holding its clipboard

When trying to copy-paste between apps, simply link its containers and provide cross-access for said apps. This way you keep it modular and as secure as possible while not allowing other services to access a specific container.

I have yet to use GrapheneOS, sadly past phones I had did not support it.

So, apparently there's a new UI, but no screenshots?

🤦

when can I get the motorola flagship

Lenovo desperately needs to collaborate with Graphene to rebuild its reputation after being exposed for secretly collecting data on Moto phones at the system level.

The RCS addition to messages would be lovely, it is unfortunately one of the few features keeping me reliant on Google messages.

Hm feels a bit like wasting resources. There are plenty of replacements available for the apps they plan to rewrite.

On the other hand there are areas where we have no good at all or parts of the OS where apps don't cut it. Focus on these gaps instead.
