I don't get how Google can continue to call RCS an "industry standard" and do their campaigns publicly shaming Apple for not implementing it when this is the case.
Not to mention RCS messages are mostly being routed through Google's own servers anyway because no carriers have implemented it. No wonder they want Apple to get on board with this "standard," it replaces SMS with a Google service.
- martin8412 3y agoGoogle should not even have the slightest say when it comes to messaging. They've launched and killed so many messenger services throughout the years. You're of course right about Google being hypocrites because they want to route messages for Apple users through Google servers. The RCS standard doesn't support E2EE natively, so Google will see everything unless you use Google Messages which implements E2EE, but who knows that data they collect there.. I wonder if Google would agree to RCS with Apple running the servers. I seriously doubt it.
