What the hell? It also failed to wake me up when one of my priority contacts tried to contact me on an emergency because some defaults had changed.

I have resisted installing replicant on my phone because I feared some core functionalities would be missing, but now I don't see why not anymore.

Yeah core functionalities are missing from modern android. Might as well install a more privacy focused or legacy support instance ROM and not give some tech company some money for a product you won't like as much. Also keep some cadmium out of a landfill

Smartphone was the shiny tech 10 years ago but feels like since a few years no one cares anymore and Google could not care less about what happens to its phone OS. So weird.
