Not only that, but there were reports that even Google's implementation was stealthily turned off on custom ROMs or rooted phones :/
Not even stealthily they just required some device validation bullshit iirc. Basically they require the ROM is signed by a Google certificate. They don't do that for custom roms even GrapheneOS after the android dev team request they get added multiple times.
I'm on GrapheneOS so RCS isn't a solution for me.
Ah. I heard that in some cases (maybe earlier on?) they just didn't deliver the messages without erroring out. Anyway, I wouldn't be able to use it either because a) not all carriers have it (where I am, only one does) and b) apparently not all manufacturers have it either, especially if we're talking about cheap Chinese ones which are the majority.
