This sounds like a problem exclusive to the United States.
I think that in France it’s the same problem. But that hard to find informations about it.
Apple were the ones not allowing the interoperability here, and causing the centralization.
I don’t see why you say that. Can you explain?
In the US, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon have slowly moved to Google’s Jibe platform after years of maintaining their own servers for Rich Communication Services
I understand that the service is not provided by carriers any more but by Google.
And they hide this information a bit further in the app.
A new step to centralize the service :/
I like Kiss a lot too.
Very different than Nova but simple and powerful.
I don’t know why, but that a sad news :/
Owww! :(
That’s sad. But at the same times trying to bypass a gatekeeper is always incertain. They can change something that is difficult to reverse enginering and it’s the end of the story. :/
Looks bad for privacy… 😞
I use a some of Nextcloud App like Notes, News and also I try jtx instead of Tasks.
And OsmAnd, Jerboa, Signal, Schildichat (= Element.io), eOs.
I use Bitwarden!
I like that I can share password with my team. :)
The main thing about Fairphone is not the phone but the supply chain.

Nothing is perfect and a phone cannot make happy every one (is there a jack or not …). But I’m happy that they try to make a good phone with all the hidden things in mind (from where come from the rough material, who is making the pieces and in which conditions …). That’s more important for me then the final product.
I used it a bit, but you need a WhatsApp account to chat with WhatApp user.
The goal is to have all your account and messages in one App, but you still need one account per Service (whatspapp, telegram, twitter … ).
I wonder if WhatsApp is going to make a white list of compatible App or if they just open an API or document a protocol…
Anyway, I found it awesome.
If someone don’t want to chat with a WhatsApp user it’s always possible too.
Cons
- No charger and no cable in the box.
That’s a Pros in my point of view ! Because we already have a lot of charger/cable in are house usually.
Secure Camera looks very very nice, with QRcode reader !! Oh I think I’ll love it!
