They really didn't have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don't need another pop up in my life.

Well that's out-fucking-standing!

Edit:

RCS will instead replace SMS and MMS and “exist separately from iMessage when available.”

Well, that's kind of concerning for iMessage users. Will they completely lose SMS and MMS support? What about when the iMessage or RCS servers are unreachable?

Edit 2:

and it’s planning to file an appeal against the government’s regulation of its App Store

Does this mean they may not actually roll this feature out, or may yank it if they win their appeal?

It's pretty confusing, but I don't think so. Read the last bit: "when available". SMS and MMS will be available, but RCS will take priority over them when available.

Does this mean they may not actually roll this feature out, or may yank it if they win their appeal?

Nop, it's the sideloading thing.

Their implementation will not feature E2E encryption.

[–] step6672@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The only RCS implementation that has E2EE is Google Messages (well, pretty much the only one available, but anyways), RCS as a protocol doesn't have it by default, right?

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 9 months ago

You are right.

i thought rcs was developed by openwhisper for signal

[–] step6672@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

That's the Signal Protocol. RCS is Google's attempt to replace SMS/MMS
