    I hope not. RCS still has issues. Example, it still requires you to have a phone number. iMessage can be used with an email address.

    The Apple insider podcast gents did a nice break down of this a few months ago. iMessage is a lot more than just proprietary RCS.

        Yes, and people sending messages through Google’s servers have to use Google’s encryption keys.

            Never. The epic court case has evidence showing Apple views iMessage as a moat to hold their users hostage.

      Let’s be honest, who the fuck doesn’t have a phone number in 2023? My 9 year old cousin has an iPhone SE.
