Google is blocking RCS on rooted Android devices
Google says it’s taking measures to prevent spam and abuse.
Do people even use it? As soon as I say that Google owned this I got rid of it while debloating someone else's phone
Many people use it. Regular android users have it enabled in their "Messages" app. But most rooted devices likely does not use RCS.
Weird, I've not seen anyone I know use it in the past
I guess it's similar to how people use iMessage because it's the pre-installed messaging app. Both fall back to of SMS/MMS if the other party isn't using the same closed ecosystem. I.e. Google's proprietary end-to-end encryption or iMessage.
That makes sense.
I use it. I enabled RCS as the primary protocol since too many time critical SMS messages got too delayed.
Just as a matter of curiosity, how do you get rid of RCS specifically?
Go into Google Messages settings and disable the setting.
Maybe if I'm lucky they'll briefly remember they have a website for sending messages and they'll finally update it so you can react with more than seVEN EMOJIS! It's been YEARS!!!
Is this how I can stop the messages app from bugging me about enabling RCS every time I open it? Sign me up!
