But not the google proprietary RCS
Thats good to hear but its hard to switch away from an established product. For example, there is Signal, which has all of WhatsApps features and is completely privacy-oriented but everyone would have to switch at once for it to work...
There is a big uproar about Apple not using googles RCS because (and if I remember correctly) googles RCS is a walled off garden much like iMessage so when Apple does implement RCS it still won’t work on Google devices. Might have to fact check me but I believe that was the early consensus.
It will as far as I know, it just won't work with the additional features Google have slapped on top but haven't bothered to try to include in the open standard. It makes sense why people would want it since it includes stuff like E2E encryption, but it's better this way, since like this the open standard actually has the chance to get these features in the future.
