I was hesitant for a long time, but I’m not using the Murena Fairphone 6 here in the states. I see a lot of people hesitant about it, will it work for X or Y, etc. Suprisingly there are very very few things that haven’t worked for me, it’s mostly a fork of LineageOS with microG.
Still, I wanted to open a forum for folks who are ready to leave Google thanks to them killing off installing your own apps, maybe my experience will help those who are questioning if they should or not
How about messengers?
Specifically Signal and Threema.
Are they still working as expected?
This is the biggest fear I have. Messaging is essential, but often seems to rely on google services for real time message push.
I am currently using a vanilla LineageOS with basic Google Services and Apps installed because of this fear.
Not OP, but /e/os has microg and for me signal is working fine (also /e/os on Fairphone 6). /e/os also has Unifiedpush integrated, so if you are willing to spend a bit of time you could use Molly (Signal fork) without google services
