I tried to switch to grapheneOS after my iPhone broke. RCS incompatibility is why I ended up purchasing another refurbished iPhone.
Managed to get my immediate family to try out Signal, but the fact that EXIF data was stripped from photos made it a no-go. We share photos in our group chat very often, and photos saved from Signal having the wrong date/time and no location drove them bonkers.
Outside of immediate family, most of my friends would only communicate through Discord...yeah, no thanks, I'd rather use iMessage lol.
