    Dialer and message applications were not being used by anyone, including custom ROMs, so Google debloated and removed it.

    Fast pair was removed because no other OEM was using it, so Google debloated.

    You’re acting like they’re being malicious. They aren’t.

      Saying that no one was using the Dialer and Message applications is a straight-up lie. What else do you think are de-google ROMs using? GrapheneOS, for example, is still using it.

        Literally every other popular custom ROM was using their own, updated, better fork of the Google dialer and message app.

        Not sure why Google would continue to bloat AOSP just for GrapheneOS. That’s ridiculous.
