It would behoove Google to use the open standard since they've pushed for Apple to adopt RCS for so long.

And if the carriers actually start supporting it properly, there's no need for Google to run it's own proprietary version. Plus, proprietary encryption protocols are always less secure than the widely tested open standards.

@RGB3x3 @Earthwormjim91 Yes, google needs to put the encryption into the open standard ASAP, and then push Apple if they don't quickly implement it. I have pixel devices and like RCS. Looking forward to being able to RCS text everyone.
