The only RCS apps, to my knowledge are Google Messages and Samsung Messages.

Not sure why.

Well as I can't use either of those on my degoogled Android device, Apple using RCS is irrelevant, and they should use a more open standard, like Matrix.

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Matrix is a terrible standard but otherwise I agree.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What do you suggest, I was just giving an example.

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Signal protocol is probably the best open standard?

Hard to say, they all come with their compromises but Matrix would never work, it's just too slow.

Signal removed it's RCS support:(

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Signal never had RCS support

Actually, I was thinking it was RCS. It was regular text messages. Thanks for the correction.
