Why does that sound like a threat?
It's in your backyard right now
Lucky for me, I can't afford a backyard.
I don't see much point to this, really. Guess it can be nice to correct a wrong address number sent or something, so if looking through a message in the future for an address or phone number, you won't find the incorrect one during a search, but what do you really need to change a message for 15 minutes later, outside of to be annoying.
It declutters the chat from corrections
And with how shitty swipe keyboards, predictive text, and auto correct are, there are a LOT of edits.
I found Google messages to be unreliable: refusing to send a SMS if the Internet connection is bad. The signal that the message failed to send is a single hollow checkmark.
I switched to fossify messages, which just sends SMSs or MMSs and doesn't create its own flawed messaging protocol
SMS and MMS are not very secure however. RCS is technically an open standard. it's mostly controlled by Google at the moment, but hopefully that will change as Apple enters the game this year.
If I want to have security, I would use a different communication protocol. I find it unacceptable for an SMS app to change quietly change to a different protocol, particularly if it causes messages to fail to send.
The neat thing about Android is that you have the choice to do that. None of us understand why you want to use sms over rcs, but we love that you can.
SMS is the only universal messaging protocol, it works on EVERY phone instead of only smartphones. Besides that, why would you use a a messaging app owned by a data grabber / privacy violater.
If it was that big a deal for you, why would you use a phone OS by that same company?
SMS is hot garbage:
But sure. It works for anyone on any phone.
Security should be both convenient and default for everyone.
RCS is opt-in. Nothing is changing protocols without your prior consent and knowledge.
I guess I didn't notice when I opted in, and couldn't find a way to opt out when I realized it was broken
Yes, imagine, its controlled by Google..and Apple, thay woukd be a backward step
Fuck RCS, just install Signal
I would have to disagree. A duopoly sucks, but it's still better than a monopoly.
