Just Google's proprietary app connecting to Google's proprietary servers that just happened to be preinstalled. There is nothing RCS being build to Android itself.

    Hell, the only other messaging app that supports RCS is Samsung Messages. And it's not even the default anymore.

    And not even Google's own Google voice supports RCS yet

    Yeah… I’m betting Google voice is nearing its end of life. All the robocall legislation is making other voip services kill off their sms equivalents, I just cant see Google voice being the one service that manages to pull through.

    Especially considering it’s a Google service of more than a decade, it’s long past due to be taken out back and shot.

    While acknowledging your probably right about its future prospects for longevity, I really hope you're wrong. Maybe they can roll it into Google Fi wireless mvno but it'll probably end up in the graveyard like Google pay 2.0, among many others
