If they introduced a means for users to delete messages, they can certainly do the same without user permission

    Is Google the only one behind RCS?

    I also guess that all those features depend on the implementation other actors make of RCS so there is a chance it doesn't delete messages for some, no?

    It does feel like Google took over RCS and is pushing it as their own thing. Shits fucked, basically guarantees that it's never going to happen

    nahhh they are the experts of messaging apps, they've got like 20 different ones and none are able to even communicate between their own services (Google chat, messages, photos, meet, hangout, classroom, drive, + all the dead ones)

    I know things aren't as easy for Google with them being hounded (rightfully) for abusing their monopoly, but you'd think they would be able to create a single messaging platform and push that to customers.

    Pretty sure Samsung messenger does, but the problem is that mobile carriers (att, Verizon, etc) can't decide on a standard, and more importantly - they can't figure out how to monetize it.

    Jokes on them. Around a quarter of the people I send texts to, never get them.
