Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps... like Apple’s own iMessage.

RCS has an e2e encryption extension (created by Google)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

All currently available RCS implementations are proprietary, you can't trust the encryption if you can't verify it.

Except the commenter above is talking about SMS/MMS which is not encrypted and very easy for a government to snoop on via the telecom company. You have no protections.
