The GSM Association announced that the latest RCS standard includes E2EE based on the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, enabling interoperable encryption between different platform providers for the first time.
So this solves the, very american, green bouble problem?
It solves encrypted RCS being a Google extension. Hooray for standards.
As in group texts having shitty image quality: that’s already solved by their current RCS implementation. This just makes it possible for the spec to support encryption (which Apple may still choose not to do).
As in blue bubbles being a status symbol: no.
Hell yeah
Is there any open source app on android that supports rcs?
No.
