I use some apps to communicate with family, and clearly my privacy protections weren’t as good as I thought they were. I set things up a long time ago, so I imagine something changed since then.
I’m considering of either sending the apps to the work profile, or switching to only using them in the browser. If it’s because I connected my account to the other service at some point, I don’t know how to sever that connection now aside from dropping that other game/app/service

Okay, and now find a messaging app that supports RCS that isn’t Google or Samsung messages.
Being stuck to 2 apps, one of which is OEM exclusive sure defeats the point, now doesn’t it?
Here’s a demo one that works on rooted Android: https://github.com/Hirohumi/RustyRcs/

It’s not RCS’s fault Google locks down the API on their OS.
