Fucking A. I hate using Googles shitty messaging app, and maybe I would have more than 2 other rcs users in my contacts if the 3rd parties could implement it.
They won’t. It’s part of their “slowly-closed-source-all-of-Android” plan. The old messaging app used to be part of AOSP and you could read the source, how delightful that was.
Would be a good time for a contender to start the third OS. In a few years, more of the population would have interest enough that it might actually get traction.
This. They haven’t opened up the RCS stuff till now on Android to other apps.

They have abandoned the app and multitudes of others in favour to their closed source apps. Multiple Open Source apps exists to fill the gaps though.
