People actually use that? Everybody I know is using whatsapp and/or signal. Nobody bothers about proprietary crap.

What is your demo? In my world it's quite different. Isn't Whatsapp proprietary? And I know few that will bother with signal these days. I've started getting obvious spam invites on it as well so...

RCS should just be the standard. There is no reason to argue that.. it doesn't end the apps you use but many of us are tired of multiple apps.

Yeah fuck apple but seriously, RCS is fucking stupid. We have so many nice open protocols and RCS is the best we can get?

Never looked into it, what's so bad about RCS besides it being proprietary? Way better than SMS in my experience.

Doesn’t the EU DMA would eventually force Apple, Whatsapp… to open up ?

iMessage was excluded because nobody uses it here
