… users who don’t have Play Services, such as people running GrapheneOS without Sandboxed Google Play, won’t be able to try the feature out just yet.
What in the absolute fuck. Signal disappoints again.

…just yet.
Honestly it should be their highest priority to make shit available without Google spyware. It’s truly stunning.

You have to start somewhere, and it makes sense to start with their largest user base and move downwards.
Disagree. It make sense to start with your most vulnerable users.
This is a beta it’s not officially released yet. My guess is that’s it’s only available on the Play Store because they used Google’s built in feature which allows users to sign up for a beta channel.
