  Never looked into it, what’s so bad about RCS besides it being proprietary? Way better than SMS in my experience.

    Confidently incorrect but ok.

    The whole point of RCS is that it’s a protocol so the demonstrably would be other apps. That’s like saying there’s only one app for SMS it isn’t true.

      What non Google sms app that has implemented RCS?

    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.
