    Are there any FOSS RCS apps for Android?

      The only RCS apps, to my knowledge are Google Messages and Samsung Messages.

      Not sure why.

        Well as I can’t use either of those on my degoogled Android device, Apple using RCS is irrelevant, and they should use a more open standard, like Matrix.

          Matrix is a terrible standard but otherwise I agree.

            What do you suggest, I was just giving an example.

              Signal protocol is probably the best open standard?

              Hard to say, they all come with their compromises but Matrix would never work, it’s just too slow.

                Signal removed it’s RCS support:(

                    Actually, I was thinking it was RCS. It was regular text messages. Thanks for the correction.

      Unfortunately RCS is on the carrier side. The most basic chat system built in by the phone carrier will likely have RCS.
