It's an #GSMA #specification, not an #openStandard. I.e. #license fees can apply and freely copying source code implementing #RCS might infringe copyrights. The whole system is pretty complex and depends on proprietary Google infrastructure. There are no open APIs, neither on the network, nor locally on the phone. TTBOMK, no #freeSoftware OS (Graphene, e, Lineage, #Mobian, #postmarketOS, etc.) could implement it so far. Would love to be corrected, though!
Long live #RFC6120 🙂

Don't rely on RCS!
Unfortunately, #RCS is worse than #SMS. (It used to be worse than #CVS, but that was something completely different.)
#FreeSoftware operating systems can easily support SMS and even #MMS, e.g. with #ModemManager. RCS is completely locked into #BigTech #duopoly Google + Apple and cannot be supported by #Mobian or free Android flavours.
Use #RFC6120 instead. Open, free, #standardised, federated #InstantMessaging for all!

Apple und Google haben wohl bei der "#Standardisierung" von #VoLTE geschlafen und vergessen ihre proprietären Protokolle vorzuschreiben…
Bei #RCS haben sie erfolgreich das #Duopol verteidigt. Aber es gibt zum Glück #RFC6120 usw. Offenes, freies, föderiertes, standardisiertes #InstantMessaging…
