    To make people believe that they have privacy when really they don't have?

      Most Android users don't even know what RCS is, to the point that Google literally force enable RCS on their messages app without user consents, just so they can brag about the number of RCS users.

      Even funnier, nobody outside the US even cares about RCS.

        What does end-to-end encryption give you when there's an artificial intelligence agent running on your phone and using your internet connection to send screenshots of what you write and what is written to you for the purposes of advertisement and trading your personal information?

          Carol-, 14 Mar 2025I am quite intrigued why this did not "die" yet, ... moreWow. Have you been diagnosed with Adhd? I ask because you're thought have no consistency no coherence.

          Rcs like MMS is a network standard, then a messaging standard secondly. This means its not something that needs to be downloaded by all the other apps you've mentioned.

          That's why end to End Encryption a most critical part is so crucial hence 5he announcement being of crucial importance.

          Everybody who's network supports it gets it.

          Got it?!
          Good!

            Stinker, 14 Mar 2025Hope this also fixes read receipts in group chats too.That's ironed based on each physicochemical enabling it. Has nothing to do with encryption.

                I am quite intrigued why this did not "die" yet, probably only because of crapple. I mean with signal, telegram and whatever other (depending on who cares about what) in stores, this apps make no sense, and being proprietary from tech giants, wow, i mean wow, they are the least interesting and nothing to brag home about, yet everybody still talks about them green blue b.s. like it is the most innovative software the world has ever seen. Meanwhile others actually innovate....

                      I don't know any iPhone user that has RCS working, and almost no Android users as well..

                        Hope this also fixes read receipts in group chats too.

                          I'd like to use RCS messaging more, but the majority of people don't even know what it is.
