Reply to comment by crypticsage in Google Gives Apple Dose of Own Medicine With Reaction Texts by A-Do-Gooder

RCS has end to end encryption as well for person to person texts, I agree it needs to be expanded to group messages.

Until such a thing is implemented, there is still a security gap where iMessages still dominate.

Plus it can only do end to end encryption if the app has the RCS feature enabled in the app. I believe there is a carrier component to that as well.

There is, I mean listen if Apple opens up iMessage to all platforms and it gets universal adoption that would be great, I just done see it happening.

In reality I see RCS being developed more and apple eventually being forced to adopt it either though public pressure or by legislation.

Or more likely neither and we keep everything worse.
