That's literally not this. This is for accessing on tablets and computers via the web app.

Yes, I know. I'd like to have access to that feature without having to use my google account

Use another messaging services. It's google messages.

RCS is the only way to get read receipts with most folks I know, and google messages is the only way to use RCS presently

If you have a problem with using a Google account on a Google product, don't use that Google product. Use signal, WhatsApp or any other messaging service.

While that is fair, messaging is a bit more complicated since you kinda have to use what other people in your life are using, and almost all of the people I talk to regularly have RCS but not other chat services I'd rather use. If RCS was available outside of google messages I'd gladly use a third party RCS app.

Like I said, its great to have an account option if you can still use it without your google account via the QR code, but loosing a feature unless you use a google account would be a bummer.

To be totally honest it seems weird to me that people would be so invested in debating my preference to not have to use a google account. I was just expressing my personal disappointment that a feature might go away unless I link an account- do I really need to justify that? Can't I just be not-thrilled at something without people telling me I shouldn't feel that way, or that I'm unjustified? 🤷

Regardless, I hope you have a good day :)
