Never looked into it, what’s so bad about RCS besides it being proprietary? Way better than SMS in my experience.
Being proprietary
Everything is better than SMS.
And everything except SMS is better than RCS.
Let me use a fucking messaging app, I’ll just need any internet connection and it will works and it get constantly updated.
RCS is just SMS2
Then everyone needs to download and make an account on said app, they already exist and none are unanimous.
Everyone has a phone number that gets used for auth and other things. If that system doesn’t change then RCS is way better.
There is exactly one app that can use rcs. No better than apple
RCS seems to be pretty openly licensed out to other OEMs, definitely a lot better than iMessage.
It’s still proprietary though, a far cry from something like Matrix.
Confidently incorrect but ok.
The whole point of RCS is that it’s a protocol so there demonstrably would be other apps. It’s like saying there’s only one app for SMS, it isn’t true.
What non Google sms app that has implemented RCS?
