What's untenable is that the third party software is unsanctioned. You can make the argument that it would be a good or better system with third party clients, or that Apple should open the system up, but it is ridiculous that anyone would trust a client/integration that depended on some kind of hack (regardless of the nature of that hack--such as whether it's decrypting and proxying or getting into the ecosystem in a "secure" way)

It's planning to make RCS blue bubble in 24.

  They are planning RCS support. They've said nothing about how that will look in the app, it's not a given that will be in blue bubbles or fully feature complete with iMessage

    They actually did say that it will be green: https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-confirms-rcs-messages-will-have-green-bubbles/ https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-confirms-rcs-messages-w...

      Even better, and not surprising at all. I was kind of surprised that everyone just assumed RCS would get the blue bubble treatment when Apple made their announcement.

      So, green=unencrypted (unsecured) and blue=encrypted (secured)? I don’t see a problem with that.
