True. This would be an issue for anyone with a custom ROM. Although Signal is there as an option as well.
Custom ROMs are able to use RCS with Google Messages just fine. It only becomes an issue if you also want to de-Google your phone.
Signal is great but Signal ≠ RCS
I think they mean allowing Signal to use RCS would let them combine all their messaging into a single app and/or use it for RCS on ROMs without Google apps. Kinda like how Facebook Messenger tries to be your SMS app as well, except with apps like Signal, people might actually use the feature.
Signal cut out their sms integration. Don't see why they'd have RCS.
If RCS is end to end encrypted, and doesn't use messaging fees, then every reason they decided to drop sms is no longer valid, except for needing to spend more time developing it.
I doubt they'll add it even if they did have the option, but it's not ridiculous that they could.
SMS and RCS are distinctly different techs, the former being antiquated and insecure.
The removal of SMS will be necessary because Google is cutting out third party apps from being able to access the messaging framework, including RCS. Google's closing the walls around their garden.
I've actually never heard of this. Do you have any further reading on this topic?
