Text messaging has been a staple of communication for decades, but it's time to move on. In this video, we'll explore why SMS is an outdated and insecure technology and discuss better alternatives.
Is there a solution for people who want to use something like rcs but won’t download Google Messages? I can’t get everyone I know to switch to something like Signal and I won’t use Google apps
I researched this a little while ago. The new protocol is licensed by Google and has not been released to the public. Also, unless everyone in the middle supports the protocol, messages are routed through Google’s network.
I settled on Signal for people who will switch and SMS for the rest. I do plug Signal when I can, like sending images between Apple & Android are degraded, but not on Signal.
