I mean you could but it would essentially be like ProtonMail, where the only private and secure communications would be with other users on the same platform, which would be near-zero. Would it be better? Yes, but not by much. Better off just to use something like Signal or Matrix if you’re trying to convince people to use something different.

It doesn’t. 3rd party RCS–> iMessage is not anymore private or secure than 3rd party RCS --> Google. All message metadata is stored on Apple’s servers, just like it is on Google’s.

RCS will work with iMessage users in iOS 18. I’ve already tried out with beta users and it works fine.

Are you just going to ignore you ever said there would be near zero users?
You’re an ass. Blocked.
I’m not ignoring anything. There will be near-zero users. I’ve just explained this. I’m not being an ass and you’ve not blocked me.
