Interesting, assuming this is all correct (I tried to look around and the information on this seems to be purposefully vague from a marketing standpoint for RCS.).
I am perfectly fine with Apple not rushing to implement RCS. It may be a business decision for their part but any chance that the messages information will go through Google's servers is a full no go for me and is not a valid alternative in my opinion.
Even if it is encrypted (which seems to not be guaranteed anyways), it still gives Google data I don't care for them to have.
- pests 3y agoIf you don't use iPhone and Apple implements RCS then it is your decision to send data to Google by your choice of which phone you choose. If you do use iPhone then you could selectively choose not to RCS texts contacts that you know use a Google RCS implementation.
- nerdjon 3y agoThat doesn't seem to be the case based on how I am understanding what was said? If RCS goes through my carrier it is up to my carrier if it's Google's implementation or not? Meaning Google's servers or not? If the person I am talking too is on an Android phone I would also assume the same, that the text is likely going through Google's servers at some point. Needing to know whether or not a specific contact is using Google's RCS implementation seems like quite the hassle when "Google" is the flaw for RCS in my opinion. If I am misunderstanding, I would love to be corrected.
- pests 3y agoOops. I had a brain fart and was linking RCS to phone model not to service provider. You should be correct afaik.
