  Only thing I know about RCS is that it has caused a few of my texts to never be sent. Other than that it has done nothing for me.

  I don’t see this happening. Apple to/from Android are the only texts that the government can easily snoop on.

    There are mandated back doors in most message apps. Messages between different message systems are normally harder to read

      RCS has an e2e encryption extension (created by Google)

        All currently available RCS implementations are proprietary, you can’t trust the encryption if you can’t verify it.

      Except the commenter above is talking about SMS/MMS which is not encrypted and very easy for a government to snoop on via the telecom company. You have no protections.
