Can we just get third party RCS support
Google recently announced they're backing the new RFC 9420 standard - no clue what that means for the future of RCS or if this standard will go anywhere but optimistically this can be the one everyone gets behind and is open to everyone? 🤷
That's not a messaging standard, it's just a specific security protocol. Doesn't really have much to directly do with RCS.
What do you mean? On my Pixel 6 I already get RCS messages from other phones
Third party apps like Textra or Pulse can't access the RCS APIs, if you want to use a different carrier messaging app you can't use RCS currently. Also as far as I know the system doesn't actually know what RCS messages are and they're stored as SMS/MMS internally. Like if you restore from a backup or clear data on Google Messages, all your existing RCS messages appear as SMS/MMS.
I still use Textra. I switched over to the Google Messenger app for a month or two. I ended up going back to Textra... I guess I care more about the user experience than RCS. But I would like to have RCS. I believe Google promised it years ago but never delivered.
