An App by Google to test RCS protocol (android.googlesource.com)

Hi there, first I don't fully understand what is going on with RCS protocol.

Is it a new wallet garden for Google/Samsung/Apple or is it possibly a good move for secure and decentralized communication.

What do you think about this small test app and about the RCS protocol in general ? Is it worth to take a look ?

So on one hand, it’s a good thing that Apple is getting RCS this year, but it’ll likely remain either the at the basic Universal Profile level, or some proprietary Apple stuff thrown in, both of which aren’t really ideal.

No, I would say the first is the best option. It would create incentive for actually improving the Universal Profile. The "bad ending" would be Apple adopting Google's proprietary extensions.
