Isn't RCS a protocol, for which Google has developed their own implementation for Messages? Apple would likely develop their own implementation as well, as Im sure anyone who interfaces with the RCS protocol has done. If thats the case I don't see the irony as I would expect implementations of the protocol to have the ability to be proprietary. Now if governments want to take on opening up proprietary messaging api's to third party developers thats a whole other can of worms than ensuring all mobile devices can interface with a global standard for native messaging.

Google has Jibe which is what some/most of the major carriers use in the USA for Android phones. Be interesting to see what happens how Apple comes in on this, their own branch or universal profile is likely.

I emailed Textra about RCS this week. Response:
quote:
he RCS interfaces (APIs) on Android are currently *only* available for Google to use, no other third party developer has access. Thus, currently on Google Play, the only third-party SMS app to provide RCS functionality is the Messages by Google app.
We are hopeful Google will make these RCS interfaces available in the near future, so that Textra SMS can also offer RCS functionality.
