Everyone already has options if they think SMS is too primitive. I see this as removing an existing option, and forcing people to use more "big tech" products than they already do. And obviously google wants that, or they wouldn't be pushing it. It's overall a loss for consumers, even if RCS has more features and can work across platforms.
- smoldesu 4y agoI don't follow. The status quo is already forcing people to use big tech products (SMS routes through telco, iMessage routes through Apple), and RCS is a protocol that Apple can implement however they like. Can you point directly to the privacy concern you have?
