The blue bubbles mean you’re using iMessage, which is encrypted. You don’t have to download a separate app owned by Facebook which makes texting iPhone to iPhone so much better.

In the US most carriers (and certainly the big 3) support end-to-end encryption via RCS. Though of course, Apple won't support the Diffie-Helman exchange outside of iMessage or anything RCS at all.

…which you need to install Google or Samsung messages to take advantage of, so it’s the same thing.

Until all phones use the same protocols in their stock messages app, SMS will still be used to send between the different platforms.

No, which Apple would have to integrate into iMessage.

Literally the point. Everyone is waiting for Apple, EU is considering forcing them (again.)

I really hope they won't, because it's very bad for privacy.

It's fantastic for security, but a privacy disaster.
