It is ironic that google touts RCS as a "open platform", when you have to use google's implementation of it.

It is not only ironic but pathetic. They promote it as the new open standard and people who just don't look further into the details believe it.

I think the fact that no other app can do RCS messages on Android also undermines Google's case when they are pushing for Apple to adopt RCS, and I think Apple should absolutely roast them over this.

Signed a rooted Android user.
