Yeah so Apple is getting RCS but we can't have it on 3rd party apps on Android.
The irony.

Are there any non Google/Samsung RCS apps for Android, like any FOSS ones?
No, I don't think so. Iirc it's because of google locking it down
Nope Google is run by the bad kind of cunts
I'm sure Apple will block 3rd party apps from accessing the device's RCS messaging APIs just like they do SMS/MMS/iMessage. Google unfortunately does the same with RCS (unlike SMS/MMS) in Android, so it's not really feasible for 3rd party apps to integrate RCS support anywhere even if they want to.
the same universal profile as Android
Actually Google Messages extends beyond the universal profile. If you check the current spec, there is no encryption nor reactions, yet Google messages has them. Apple Messages won’t for RCS.
