Samsung has released a new video in support of Googleās #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or āRich Communication Services,ā the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging appsā¦ like Appleās own iMessage.
RCS isnāt a good solution. As long as all RCS implementations are proprietary and Google doesnāt even include an RCS client in AOSP and doesnāt let you use a third-party client itās just as shitty as iMessage. Just use Signal, itās FOSS, cross-plattform and stores as little data about you as possible. Itās also not run by some garbage big tech corporation.
You gotta convince people to switch to Signal. Thatās what Iāve been doing for a long time, and it works!
I lost half the people Iād gotten on signal when they removed sms. People liked it well enough when they could do all their messaging from one app on Android.
