    That’s great Google. Since you made such a big stink about Apple supporting RCS that means you will let other apps on Android to use RCS, right?

    Right!?!??

      Best we can do is silently block your messages if you fail Play Integrity.

      Well no. How is Google supposed to feed all your text messages into their AI for profit if they allow a choice?

      Other Android apps do support RCS. Google doesn’t allow other apps to implement the end to end encryption, however.

        What other messaging apps support RCS and can be used to replace Messages? How are they doing it? Last I knew Google did not male the RCS API open to app developers.

            Samsung Messages is just a slightly modified Google Messages and as far as I am aware Google has not allowed anyone else to even do that. Plus last I knew Samsung more or less stopped doing much with it and has opted to just use the standard Messages on all of their new phones.
