RCS is pretty much useless for my country which relies heavily on other messaging apps like WhatsApp/Telegram. I use SMS only for OTPs and stuff so I’m happy without any RCS in my life.

A friend didn’t have RCS until recently, and I always had to remember to send links and not actual pictures because they would always recieve unreadable garbage if I let the carrier transfer it. But really, ANY other messaging app solves this… Signal, Telegram, Discord, even Steam Chat will blow the pants off MMS.

I’ll get complaints from people they can’t add/remove members from a group chat, and it’s because I’m in the chat, and use Google voice.
