I’m going to be interested in how it turns out. RCS is one of the few legitimate complaints I have about android. The “open” standard doesn’t have e2ee, and some of the other nice things are also google closed extensions. 

I was a pixel user when RCS rolled out, and it was painful - google stepped in a standardized it finally, but they failed to open their extensions up. 

🤷 every product has something different someone doesn’t like, but it’ll be interesting to see how nice those two will play. Since China forced the issue, and Apple put no emphasis on it during WWDC, I’m not hoping for much, but reactions and hopefully higher res photos would be awfully nice.
