Even if RCS makes messaging with non-Apple devices more reliable, I‘d assume Apple would continue to use blue for Apple devices only, solely from a branding perspective. Despite all the things regulators are pushing them on, it seems reasonable that a brand can provide aesthetic-only markers for mutual users of the brand.
- hprotagonist 3y agonot to mention that RCS isn’t encrypted.
- meepmorp 3y agogoogle has added e2ee in their implementation but it's not part of the standard, i think they use the signal protocol rcs is too controlled by carriers for my liking. it's very much an sms replacement, rather than a protocol that treats the cell network as merely a data layer
- hbn 3y agoApple is implementing RCS as the actual standard, not Google's implementation. Which is the right move, if RCS is going to happen, Google should not be controlling it. Apple said they're planning to work at getting encryption build into the actual standard.
