Nothing but Google‘s is allowed to.

Nothing does :(

Beeper is built on matrix and uses a bridge to RCS, so I've thought of using that in place of Google messages, but you have to link it with Google messages, so it doesn't really help me with escaping Google

Google are assholes and refuse to actually build an open standard that can replace SMS

[-] andyortlieb@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not sure if I want Google to be the ones to do that. Ideally there would be some involvement from a proper standardization body like ITU.

But in my shallow understanding of RCS, it seems like a good candidate. I thought I read that Apple was starting to roll it out this year...

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, that's fair. I just meant they've built RCS, and kinda presented it as a replacement, but it's a walled garden they've built, unlike SMS.

I didn't know Apple might roll it out! That'd be cool! Though really what I want is just the possibility of an open source client

They have rolled it out pretty extensively. My various conversations with Apple folks have all switched over.
