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?

As of last year Google was still the only real provider for RCS and its "encryption" was completely transparent to them. I'm currently using Deku SMS for normal texting (icky) and agree with the other comments recommending Signal as an actually usable modern messaging service
