To use Google messages you must sign in to one of your google accounts, even though that was not a requirement until today that I know of or was aware of.

          Do I loose data in the process? I’m taking full backups but not so sure if the backups will actually bring my phone back. One in particular is interesting, the 2 factor authentication app. If I root my phone and that thing is somehow changed, will I loose 2FA?

            • no
            • why aren’t you checking your backups??
            • no.
              • banking apps sometimes don’t play nice with rooted phones, but you can always sandbox them to make them think the phone isn’t rooted.

        If you do, you lose out on RCS. I think only Google and Samsung messages support it as of now.
