is RCS not already sending high quality media? I though that was a main benefit

From the screenshots it sounds like it already can send medium quality photos, this is adding an original uncompressed option. Even signal sends compressed images by default unless you switch it to HQ.

Its HQ compared to SMS with iPhones at least. I love it when I get blurry blobs of pixels.

Google is too busy adding Gemini(and other AI features) to focus on basic useful RCS features. Like

High quality media

Dual sim RCS support

I saw this this morning. Instant disable. Can't we just have a good, simple messaging app ?
