Comment on Any Open-Source RCS apps yet?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but to my understanding of how RCS works, the messages would still go through Google and their servers. With that said, this would probably be more privacy friendly than straight up using the Google Messages app, since it’d have less Google telemetry and data collection, but still not ideal or truly private since it’d still be Google’s platform you’re using to message at the end of the day.

As I understand it, there is nothing Google-specific in the standard. At the moment, Google is the main (only?) provider of RCS services to mobile networks though so data is highly likely to go through Google servers. However, that’s not mandated by the standard, it’s just a consequence of the current state of the market.
