I don't understand that UE lets Google do that. They passed a law to force a private actor to interconnect with competitors like Matix. But there fine with the telephony standard being phagocytosed by a foreign actor like Google.
I think some actors like Matix, alternative Rom providers, Ubports, Jolla, should unite to demand that the service be interconnected with an independent server compatible with FOSS clients.

RCS seems like a tricky thing to implement. I think it's even disaed in the carriers in my country
-
It does work on Apple devices from iOS 18.
If there is only Googles implementation of the open standard available then it will be difficult to move forward on it. I can't see carriers running the backend to support "alternative" OS devices.
I'd be happy with just XMPP working within Messages if RCS is not feasible. -

@pparent too much the word google inside !!!

Ok, when RCS is really relying on proprietary Google-services (I can't believe this) then this kind of communication isn't interesting for me. I think the most of us are here, because they don't want to use services from big tech.

Thank you for that link, even though, combined with @domubpkm info, it is depressing...
I appreciate having the relevant info that suggests how large (and therefore unlikely to be solved by small UT team) a problem RCS support really is. -

@domubpkm please don't just dump AI output into the forum.

So, @projectmoon, since AI answers not allowed (which I understand, because half of what I get when asking Gemini anything lately is contradicted BY GEMINI after I rephrase the question, and it is NOT allowed to learn from its own deeper dives !), please summarize the RCS implementation problem using no AI answers.
Also, please estimate a minimum timeframe from Ubuntu Touch to have a working implemtation.
I am not asking for a 'when will it be working' type answer.
I am asking for a 'it probably WON'T be working for, at absolute minimum, nn years' type answer. '
I am sincere in asking for this, because I don't find anyone anywhere suggesting it can be done.
I also found a human discussion that said major US carriers tried implementing their own versions, then gave up & let Google support it.
So, if it really is a thing that Ubuntu Touch won't support for years, it would seem to make sense to explore alternatives.
And support the best one strongly.
