minus-square@InnerScientist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-24 months agoSo we’re back to square one, five messengers and one which "can do anything"©®™ led by google. No thanks I’d rather let SMS be as it is. As far as I can see you can’t join the network without some kind of authorization (see rooted phones being unable to).
minus-squareTonyOstrichlinkfedilinkEnglish3•4 months agoThat’s the point of GSM standardizing the encryption method. Progress is slow until it isn’t. We have to start somewhere.
minus-squareLka1988linkfedilinkEnglish3•4 months agoMy rooted Pixel 9 Pro has RCS enabled. Just needed the Play Integrity Fix patch installed through Magisk. Though I think Google is changing that in May, so we’ll see what happens.
minus-square@InnerScientist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•4 months agoYeah you need a TrickyStore and a valid key, though my point is that they can pick and choose who can be an RCS client.
