RCS vs SMS/MMS? (monero.town)
submitted 4 months ago by Comexs@monero.town to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

So in the new upcoming major feature update for IOS, Apple is adding RCS support in there messaging app. What are the privacy implications of adopting RCS?

Is there any other apps that have RCS support on Android other than Google's own messaging app?

The reason for my asking is because I was considering migrating my relatives' messaging app to a RCS supported one because they will probably most likely enjoy the extra bandwidth of RCS.

Note, they're already using Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp for most of their conversations.

It will go through Google servers if you want to talk to an Android user... If Apple implemented RCS only for its own users there wouldn't be much point to it. ๐Ÿ™‚

And anything going from Apple to another Apple won't be via RCS.
