Is RCS still a Google-driven scheme? I liked using Signal and its ability for messaging high quality images but it dropped support for nonusers.
Google’s the main backer but it’s technically an open standard. Apple is implementing support in iOS 18 too, reluctantly. Google also has non-standard extensions on top of it like e2e encryption. I wish they would standardize it but that’s a pretty important feature and maybe it’s ok that they brought it out before it could become standard.

What do you mean?
It doesn’t support sms anymore. You can only message Signal users.
I could have phrased this much better, thanks for interpreting for me haha. That is exactly what I meant.
