GrapheneOS is building its own RCS support to cut Google Messages out of the picture
The privacy-focused OS is also redesigning Messaging app and rethinking clipboard access.
GrapheneOS is revamping its Messaging application with a revamped interface, extensive enhancements, and bug rectifications. The company is planning to introduce RCS support to GrapheneOS' own Messaging application, potentially decreasing its dependence on Google Messages. Additionally, GrapheneOS will introduce a secure paste feature, which will prevent apps from accessing clipboard data copied by other applications.
The company is renowned for limiting Google's intrusive presence in Android. However, as the project has evolved, its aspirations have broadened beyond the operating system itself. To prepare for this next phase, GrapheneOS is intensifying its focus on everyday apps and features that users still depend on, such as a redesigned Messaging application, plans for RCS, and a novel method for securely pasting sensitive information.
This particular enhancement is currently under development. GrapheneOS is set to release a fresh version of its Messaging app featuring a completely redesigned interface developed using Android Compose. This update will also incorporate numerous other improvements and bug fixes.
