    RCS is too liitle, too late. It sucks. People have issues with it today… It’s less reliable than SMS, and it’s E2EE is problematic.

    Fortunately much of the world has moved away from SMS already, so those folks aren’t coming back. I try real hard to get people away from it.

      @BearOfaTime I have RCS and use it. It works fine. I have not noticed significant reliability problems, using Google’s servers. If there are problems it’s likely the carrier’s garbage implementation.

      There is no standard here in the USA except SMS.

        It works fine, for you. When it works is irrelevant. When it doesn’t is what matters.

        Go to reddit look for RCS problem posts. It’s terrible.
