Finally, texts between Android and iPhone users can be end-to-end encrypted
article writer just found out about Signal
Signal doesn’t send messages via your carrier, like a “text”.
if I am not mistaken, neither does RCS.
RCS: Uses data or Wi-Fi to send messages – similar to internet-based messaging apps, resulting in faster and more reliable message delivery.True, it’s IP-based, but RCS can fall back to SMS which is handy sometimes
requires RCS, which cannot be used by anything other than Google messages and not on AOSP, so therefore useless.
I wouldn’t say useless, there are a lot of users who aren’t tech savvy enough to understand why this might be an issue.
Useless because its a closed black box that may or may not have a back door. You will never know unless we get a source code leak or you get hired at G.
That’s true, but it’s true for a lot of things, and I prefer small steps into the right direction over none at all.
RCS is so backwards it’s not a step in the right direction.
It’s hardware bound - which tells me they want definite tracking capability.
It replaces SMS. Even if it’s 30 years behind, it’s better than THAT.
