So in the new upcoming major feature update for IOS, Apple is adding RCS support in there messaging app. What are the privacy implications of adopting RCS?
Is there any other apps that have RCS support on Android other than Google’s own messaging app?
The reason for my asking is because I was considering migrating my relatives’ messaging app to a RCS supported one because they will probably most likely enjoy the extra bandwidth of RCS.
Note, they’re already using Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp for most of their conversations.
Just continue using Signal. Why change it to something else and worse?
If only Signal were the default messaging app!!!
Any good app/product that becomes very popular will be inevitably acquired by an evil company at some point. That’s why the default cannot be good.

I personally won’t use anything that is a closed standard like RCS. At the end of the day it depends on Google and the Google proprietary app.
We have MMS, Signal, Simplex Chat and Matrix to name a few
I think it would be cool if the FCC came up with a new standard but if they did it probably would serve the agenda on the NSA.
