If RCS doesn’t get E2E encryption added to the public spec, they should highlight unencrypted messages with an even more offensive yellow bubble.

or vomit green moving gradient with the vomit emoji tap backed on it

will RCS still break most imessage group chat capabilities?

I dont really think “at least my videos will send at full resolution to android users” is really that much of a difference

multiple generations of people use phone chats for all the capabilities they offer, which is way more than higher resolution picture and video attachments alongside text

RCS supports read status, emoji reactions, etc. I use Beeper on Android to have support Messages group chats, and in my experience it's functionally the same as group chats over rcs.

Unencrypted RCS messages will be rendered in Comic Sans.

RCS messages outside of Google’s Jibe uses HTTPS/TLS so there is encryption. What Google has done is add E2E on top.
