RCS isn't by Google, it's a standard that Apple refuses to support.

  Last I heard, Apple announced (directly to 9to5Mac for some reason) that it will support RCS this year, probably to head off litigation. Google, on the other hand, still doesn't support RCS in Google Voice and has announced no plans to do so.

    Why the hell should Google Voice support it? It's an SMS successor that gets provided by the carriers and is bound to the phone.

      Because Google Voice is a service that provides SMS. If Google thinks RCS truly is the successor to SMS, why does Google Voice only support SMS?

        Ah, I mixed it up with one of Google's old messengers, sorry.

  Google has extended RCS with proprietary extensions [1] including E2EE. So there is plain RCS and Google RCS. https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/30/23981350/google-messages-chat-rcs-apple-imessage-photo-emoji https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/30/23981350/google-messages...
