Let's use a protocol that shadily blocks everything google doesn't like. Yeah, fuck that.

Right? Google cries about how Apple is so exclusive with their messaging and still pulls the same draconian shit. What a joke

What is this about?

The main RCS benefit is sharing videos between Apple and Android that don't look like potatoes. Can't imagine what is being shadily blocked there.

Try using a custom ROM on Android and you'll quickly see.

As much as they like to pretend RCS is an open standard, it's really not. In practice, it's a proprietary protocol to Google Messages. Which the other commenter mentioning custom roms, Google recently blocked platforms that they dont approve of from using RCS.
