It supports only carrier-provided RCS, though. No one seems to have even attempted to connect it to Google's carrier-bypassing RCS service.
- CuriousCosmic 3y agoIt's not that RCS doesn't work that way. RCS support is actually embedded in android (albeit as a closed source rcsprovider implementation). They just won't actually open up the API (That they expose to other orgs that pay them enough like samsung for their apps). There is no good technical reason why the RCS API needs to restrict itself to only pre-authorised applications vs making RCS access a permission for the user to approve.
