Apple announced RCS with a whimper when it should have been a bang - Lemmy.World

IIRC, it’s controlled by the carrier and not encrypted. If that’s the case, it’s bad. We’ve been moving away from carriers and internet providers, and got some privacy back by various means. Why would be roll that back?
Because everyone is too distracted by “Apple bad” to realise how truly awful RCS is.
This makes no sense. Apple is bad, and also I end encrypted messaging. It’s called Signal. It’s free for iOS and Android both.
I love Signal and use it with my family which is the majority of my messaging. But I was surprised to find out the rest of my family on iPhone are missing features I have on Android. This doesn’t help bring the iPhone users.
