What exactly are you implying they should do?
Apple has already agreed to adopt RCS. Although the exact implementation they didn’t specify and will likely be “bare minimum”.

Antitrust laws prohibits killing off your competition. Just because they will have RCS, doesn’t mean they didn’t actively killed beeper.

LOL that’s some impressive mental gymnastics. Beeper is not “competition”. If Beeper started their own messaging service, they would be competition. But that’s not what they did. They were literally hacking Apple’s servers and impersonating Apple devices so that they could use Apple’s service.

Are the any FOSS RCS apps for Android?
helenslunch@feddit.nl 11 months ago
The only RCS apps, to my knowledge are Google Messages and Samsung Messages.
Not sure why.
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Well as I can’t use either of those on my degoogled Android device, Apple using RCS is irrelevant, and they should use a more open standard, like Matrix.

Unfortunately RCS is on the carrier side. The most basic chat system built in by the phone carrier will likely have RCS.

They already have TL;DR: imessage and other big message services must be able to send messages to each other
noodlejetski@lemm.ee 11 months ago
iMessage isn’t included in that, since it’s not big enough in Europe.

As said by noodlejetski, iMessage usage in the EU is very low. It hasn’t been excempt completely though, it’s pending investigation.
