The SMS app is dead: Why Google Messages is now the only way to text on Android

I recently purchased a Murena Fairphone 6. There were sacrifices I expected to be made in switching to a privacy-centric, de-Googled version of Android–but I didn’t expect group texting to be one of them. Turns out, group texting is broken, and it’s not Murena’s fault. You will suffer the same fate if you switch to any phone that doesn’t have Google Messages.
