Google says that users are now sending more than a billion RCS messages everyday after Apple gave in and adopted the new standard on iPhone.

    That’s great Google. Since you made such a big stink about Apple supporting RCS that means you will let other apps on Android to use RCS, right?

    Right!?!??

      Best we can do is silently block your messages if you fail Play Integrity.

      Well no. How is Google supposed to feed all your text messages into their AI for profit if they allow a choice?

      Other Android apps do support RCS. Google doesn’t allow other apps to implement the end to end encryption, however.

        What other messaging apps support RCS and can be used to replace Messages? How are they doing it? Last I knew Google did not male the RCS API open to app developers.

      RCS? No.

      Whatever they replace RCS with next month? Yes.

          Don’t worry, that will be replaced a couple months later by 3 separate protocols that each cover about half of what you want and combined get to 80% of what you can do today.
