Are there any foss RCS apps or is it still exclusive to Google’s messages app? I feel like it would be 2 steps forward 1 step back for me to quit Google photos for immich and then exchange aosp messaging for Google messages.

Still exclusive to Google/Samsung proprietary apps. AFAIK they also do extensive SafetyNet attestation checks, so it isn’t even possible requires a bit of work (see below) to use RCS on a custom ROM like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, DivestOS, or LineageOS, or even a rooted stock OS. Unless that does a complete 180°, I’m sticking with Signal

RCS worked for me with Google’s messages app and GrapheneOS. Took a bit for it to verify and start working but once it did I had no issues. I’ve since switched to QKSMS and now the only google app on my phone is play store services.

I know this is stupid but I still refuse to check out Beeper because that is the dumbest possible name I can think of
