        They’re doing the GSMA standard and nothing else. I think they refuse to play ball with any standard Google controls either directly or indirectly.

            It’s just smart business. Why give up any level of control of anything to a direct competitor when you don’t have to?

              Especially Google, and especially the crappy implementation of RCS.

              I see posts every day of people having issues. Messages not sent, not received, etc.

      They’re not doing encryption, because Google is using their own.

      RCS is too little, too late. It sucks. I refuse to ever use it.
