It’s all about the bubbles.

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.

    I’m not quite sure why you’re against a message going through a particular company’s servers. If it’s privacy then as far as I know SMS & MMS are like sending postcards in that everyone can see them.

        Yeah I don’t think you’re right in that. I don’t think SMS or MMS are encrypted in anyway. I imagine you have an Android phone and unless you’re running a custom OS like Graphene don’t you think your data is already accessible?

        You’re using a Google OS for your phone and you think not encrypting your texts makes it harder for Google to train their AI on them?

        Interesting take. Do you have data to support it?

        FYI RCS with the e2e encryption extension enabled is harder to snoop on even for Google than it is to snoop on infamously insecure SMS
