Comment on Whats a good and proper alternative google message thats clean but better with privacy? - for texting

I don’t think any of them support RCS, for whatever that’s worth to you.

The only place I really miss that is with a fantasy football shit-talking group chat. Otherwise, I’ve tried to move away from SMS/MMS/RCS. It’s hard to pull people away from iMessage.

unfortunately as far as I know RCS is closed down. only Google messages on android and iMessage on iOS support it (maybe some other proprietary options, but no FOSS options).

  RCS requires server-side processing, so it requires the org providing it to be large enough to be able to peer with the other orgs providing it and the telcos routing it.
  
  And the encryption isn’t part of the core RCS soec that’s compatible between providers.
