Proper end-to-end, or one allowing Google to datamine messages for ad-targeting purposes?

For me, it was cool seeing the RCS indicator, but I didn’t see any functional changes. Texting with someone on Android is the same as it was with SMS

The main benefit is if a video gets sent cross platform, it doesn’t get compressed to 2005 potato cam
