    What??

    The RCS API on Android is only available to Google Messages and whomever Google allows (like Samsung Messages when they existed). This is the reality.

    If the RCS API was truly open there would be an explosion of FOSS alternatives to Google’s spyware.

      You don’t know what you’re talking about. Samsung, Verizon, ATT, and who knows who else all had their own proprietary RCS apps that were not compatible to any others.
