1 July 2021
The move will further solidify RCS as the cross-carrier messaging platform of choice for Android users.

I recently purchased a Poco F3 which has Google messages as the default SMS app. The first thing I did was install Textra for my messaging. The Google app has no customisation which Textra has and it is far more user friendly than the Google offering.

                  Those security claims from Google are a complete joke as all their apps are. Thanks God Samsung stills uses its own app. And Apple will probably not bent, because SMS are a thing of the past now (seriously, who the hell uses SMS nowadays?).

                  This is just another proof at Google trying to become an Apple on an Android world.

                    Very barebones app, lacks a number of useful features commonly found in other messaging apps.
