They really didn't have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don't need another pop up in my life.

I use the default Google messaging app, and am in the US. When sending to other Android users it uses RCS. The only time it sends as SMS/MMS is when messaging iPhones because Apple won't support RCS
It's weird because it is a standard but Google's implementation is not really the standard. For insurance, the standard does not use end to end encryption, Google does. Their implementation also runs over their own Jibe servers rather than carrier stuff. You gotta be a Google bestie with muscle like Samsung to get your rcs client on Android seems like.

In fact, Apple is implementing RCS in their messaging app: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/16/23964171/apple-iphone-rcs-support
Their implementation will not feature E2E encryption.
The only RCS implementation that has E2EE is Google Messages (well, pretty much the only one available, but anyways), RCS as a protocol doesn't have it by default, right?
You are right.
i thought rcs was developed by openwhisper for signal
That's the Signal Protocol. RCS is Google's attempt to replace SMS/MMS
It's pretty confusing, but I don't think so. Read the last bit: "when available". SMS and MMS will be available, but RCS will take priority over them when available.
Nop, it's the sideloading thing.
