I have a lot of friends and family that use SMS/RCS and I can’t get them all to use Signal.

I have the option to send SMS from a simple FOSS SMS app, and then we can communicate back and forth.

I’ve heard something about RCS getting E2EE and find that appealing.

What is the future of RCS? What are my options, and should I just stick with SMS?

Edit: Stick with SMS when I have to, and use Signal etc when possible ofc.

    Thats a shame, I trust Samsung more than Google.

    But I guess I’ll just wait until EU force interoperability and E2EE, I vaguely remember something about this 🤔

      Back when Samsung saw Android as a legitimate threat to their business model, and they made alternate apps to every Google offering, I think they did have a better ecosystem. I think that has waned in recent years, though.

      And I say that as someone who loved Samsung phones at least until 2020, when they gave up on the SD card and started giving up on camera quality. I still think they make the best devices out of the box (between screen and camera output, and not overheating) but they’ve been lazy at the top
