    IIRC, Apple implemented the original spec for RCS too, so none of the Google features like e2e will even work.

    I’m disabling that shit day 1, I don’t need my messages sent over Google servers - not even if they were encrypted.

    I don’t even know why telecoms in Europe even bothered, and neither do they. (I asked the RCS lead at one of them, and they agreed it was kind of pointless with signal, whatsapp, …. existing)

      It’s not like your SMS messages are any more secure. If you message someone using Google’s RCS servers they’re going to be using Google Messages and it’s being read by Google either way. At least with RCS you can send pictures that don’t look like ass and sidestep all the reliability issues that SMS causes
