Are there any (preferably FOSS) RCS/SMS/MMS apps as an alternative to Google Messages? I can’t convince anyone to switch to signal and would like to at least use an app that I trust. Eventually I’ll be moving to a privacy-respecting mobile OS so I’ll need an SMS app to run without Google Play Services, but I don’t want to totally miss out on RCS. Are there any alternatives? Is this even possible?
Didnt google preach at their yearly summit about making RCS a global standard? Google should be releasing fully open source APIs for Kotlin, Swift and Dart.
Nevertheless, I am skeptical on how the encryption works especially if your buddy is using Google messanger and if you were using a 3rd party RCS app.
Yeah they really could be doing a lot more on that front
