    I have a Fairphone 6 with /e/os and it was great until I found out it has no RCS support, and every time someone with real Android or iOS sends a group text you get nothing and they don’t know you didn’t get it. For it to be workable you have to go around begging your friend to turn off RCS on their end and good luck with that.

      I had this issue on Fossify messaging. When I used native messaging app the problem stopped. Also, it helps if you name the text group. Like I said though, no issues here except with Fossify, and the same thing happened in my Samsung phone so it wasn’t Eos that was the issue.
