Google messages is a resource hog, Samsung messages forced a trash option which can’t be disabled. Looking for a simple RCS capable messaging app but I don’t think anyone has created one yet. Could be the API is not available yet to third party.

RCS is a proprietary implementation. I’d recommend both not using it, and removing its hooks if you can.

It is becoming widely accepted as a new standard whether you like it or not. Once apple jumps on that bandwagon and google enables E2EE it will be even more mainstream. Most of the carriers are already onboard and committed fully RCS implementation for Android under the Cross-Carrier Messaging Initi…

RCS is a walled garden of: proprietary protocol proprietary clients proprietary servers proprietary E2E (no thank you!) How are you supposed to migrate RCS to another phone? Use it on two phones at once? On a computer? What happens when your carrier locks you out? Why do you want your carrier t…

It’s all about your threat model. If you are a NSA’s target then you are right. But most people just want to protect their data from ISP.

you have already given away your right to anonymity. This is defeatist. has nothing to do with google I don’t know why you keep bringing Google into this. switch between the many offered already Where is past chat history? Are contacts synced? Name the last time a carrier locked you out …

That is a fallacy due to the simple fact your giving up your right to your own privacy the moment you use an external service for communication. It is a fact no matter how you want to spin it. When people begin to comprehend this fact and the focus on privacy isn’t localized it will be easier to co…

[image] anon84241408: I have no intent to respond to this any further. Good, glad we agree on something. You have demonstrated yet again with your farcical responses your lack of the basic elementary principles of communications and architecture. You come across as an amateur armchair secur…
