@privacy Should I use my carrier messages app?
My network provider namely reliance jio also built an messaging app for Android. It have defiantly sms, mms support, and also RCS, organiser, etc.
So should I use it or not?
Asking as if I am not wrong all the sms info go by their server so they already know everything.
What else will they get from me if I use their app?

@sexy_peach @privacy I also do not use it. Just asking as I am thinking of using RCS

Afaik RCS is completely controlled by Google, even if your provider is different. Now do what you will.
