    So we’re back to square one, five messengers and one which “can do anything”©®™ led by google. No thanks I’d rather let SMS be as it is.

    As far as I can see you can’t join the network without some kind of authorization (see rooted phones being unable to).

      What would be far better is RCS to be exempted from data usage so we can have a more secured protocol for standardized messaging.

      My rooted Pixel 9 Pro has RCS enabled. Just needed the Play Integrity Fix patch installed through Magisk. Though I think Google is changing that in May, so we’ll see what happens.

      That’s the point of GSM standardizing the encryption method. Progress is slow until it isn’t. We have to start somewhere.
