RCS is the non-Apple aquivelant to iMessage, right?
RCS is XMPP if it were invented by corporations for corporations with the goal of minimal EU data compliance of messaging interoperability & maximal loopholes. The irony is these big corpos used XMPP a decade ago until they realized they have nothing to gain from interop or contributing to the working groups, but everything to gain from walling off the gardens & making users create accounts.
There is RCS the standard, which isn’t really used - maybe Apple’s support will give it a boost. Then there is RCS + proprietary addons that is used, Google iMessage.
Sorta, it's supposed to replace sms to an extent, but does require an internet connection. However, it is an open standard to my understanding meaning that any platform could implement it, not just android/ios.
