That's interesting! I wonder why the phone didn't automatically deregister when I disabled RCS, or why there wasn't at least an informative popup telling me this was necessary.

That's the dumb thing. When you disable RCS on your phone, why doesn't the phone just send that same API call that gets called when you visit that web page and deregister?

(Ditto for Apple, if that's still an issue over there with iMessage as well.)

The web page says it does?

It only happens for Apple if the phone is destroyed or similar.
