    I thought it was already on by default? Or is that just for pixels

      it’s not. atm it’s not only opt-in but also requires to actually go to settings and enable it, it won’t prompt you when launching the app

        Hmm on my Pixel it prompts me every now and then with a popup, even though I don’t want to enable it.

        I never use text messages, I already use Telegram and WhatsApp, and I don’t like that, in the rare case I need to send an SMS, I’m not sure if it uses my internet connection or not.

          weird. I had to manually enable it for several members of my family because “they couldn’t join group chats” and “received poor quality photos”. none of them had a pixel though, so perhaps it’s a pixel thing to force you

      For me at least it would always pop up and ask me if I wanted to turn it on during the initial setup of the app. I guess now it’ll skip that step and just immediately turn it on.
