End-to-end RCS encryption is via proprietary Google extension and not even available to other Android RCS messaging apps.
- tsunamifury 3y agoIt was made available to Apple.
- zchrykng 3y agoDoesn't really help the argument that it is a proprietary Google technology. The fact that it had to be "made available" to Apple means that it isn't an open standard and requires trusting Google, which many of us don't.
- jxdxbx 3y agoEncrypted RCS should be a standard. When it is Google should adopt the standard, not its proprietary version. In the meantime I want Apple to implement standards, not proprietary Google technologies.
