I would love to replace the official Google messaging app I can't find an app that does RCS messaging. I need to be able to text between someone with an iPhone if that matters. Any suggestions?

yea, it's not really a thing - I looked into it about half a year ago.

RCS needs infrastructure and such that google usually provides. teleproviders can choose between building it themselves or letting people use google/apple infrastructure. soo, it's kinda stuck at that it seems like.

At least as far as I've understood.
