Google doesn’t want you using RCS in unsupported regions

• nmc 7y ago
  Took me a while to figure out why I was not able to pull MMS over WiFi anymore! (My "hack" was to have a SIM from a country where RCS/Chat is enabled, but actually using it in a country where RCS is not yet supported.)

  iPhone doesn't support RCS. Therefore, it's dead on arrival.

    It will eventually have to if it becomes ubiquitous.

  I don't want to use RCS in supported regions, so I suppose that's fair. I don't like RCS because it appears to eliminate several aspects of SMS that it an acceptable messaging system for me.

    Especially with the absence of E2EE, which seems the logical step up from SMS.

  Apparently I have RCS fully supported. I only learned about this "feature" when I found an SMS I thought I had sent was sat there with an error message. Found out how to turn it off, will never use it again. I don't see how anyone ever thought "upgrading" SMS to be like WhatsApp but less reliable and still no encryption would be an improvement.

  Revision Control System? I think I remember that...
