Not one single mention in the article of what an "RCS message" is.
Boy do I hate articles that just assume you know all the context you need.
Google Messages is a mess. It NEVER falls back to SMS if you lose data connection, making it very unreliable.
As a result I've had several messages fail, with no notice unless I open the app and see the "failed" message.
As a result I disabled RCS and the app and installed QKSMS and only use SMS. It's 100% reliable. For chats I use WhatsApp.
Add to that they are now blocking rooted users WITHOUT TELLING THEM, and it's really a pile of steaming sh!t.
Suchai needs to go. Google as a whole is getting worse under his leadership.
Even Android has stagnated under him. It should be way better than it is but he doesn't inspire creativity and excitement in the staff. They are all playing it safe, with zero innovation.
They're focused on generative AI. everything else takes a backseat
An "industry standard" that Google seems to have complete control over. Sound like another failed Google messaging app.
it's broken for me and i haven't even rooted this phone :p
Aaaah... Finally a reason for me to root my phone!
Google should be forced to open up RCS to third-parties with this move.
Why? How about we just make something better.
We did. RCS was made over a decade ago by mobile phone OEMs
Except now that everything runs Android and theres so few OEMs left, Google gets to dictate a ton of stupid requirements even though it's open source and runs off the Linux kernel.
They already paid Samsung to remove RCS from their messages app so that google messages would be the only major app with support.
Incidentally, it runs like complete garbage compared to even the OEM SMS apps of Android jellybean.
So when they go around making a hissy fit about imessage, I really don't care because I can't even use RCS without using their shitty gapp.
The current alternative is a data based app like signal.
Found info on Samsung website that "Samsung Messages" app should support RCS? Is it true? Can this app be installed on non-Samsung phone?
It used to, it no longer does because Google paid or convinced Samsung to remove RCS and make Google Messages the default.
Honestly how fucking dare they mess with communication like that, especially with no notice. I've been missing messages from my roommate and dad with no sign of anything being misconfigured. It's one thing for things to be inadvertently broken from rooting, but doing it on purpose under the table is disgusting behavior
Turns out I was missing messages also from my mom during a family emergency. I'll probably be disabling RCS going forward
For now I can confirm KSU root does not trigger this RCS block
They say that it's for reducing spam but then i read that in india they allow businesses to pay for sending unsolicited spam to the point that enabling RCS it's like stating "i like spam, please send more"
