Yeah I thought RCS was going to be this platform-agnostic service à la SMS.
well in fact it is, but noone except I believe T-Mobile in the US and Samsung actually did it; everyone else just uses Google’s implemention because it’s a ready product and works great. well, except Apple, who doesn’t do it for their own bullshit reasons
Thanks you! I use Textra, it’s so much better than the stock app but Google never opened up their API. I believe for Google said they were going to back in like 2018 or something (if I’m not mistaken, which I could be)
Make a public RCS API for Android. Stop trying to get people to use your app by withholding features from third party apps.

I’m trying out matrix with my close family and it’s working great. Bonus points it doesn’t require a phone number or even a phone at all.
