Google finished adding full E2E encryption a few months ago. It’s actually more secure than iMessage now since your RCS messages aren’t stored on the cloud like iMessages. I’m guessing this is also one other reason Apple is adopting RCS.
I thought RCS only works with a server present to act as the host. Having things pass through a Google controlled server was the privacy concern. Since they can easily retain that data in its encrypted form. Which they could likely just as easily unencrypt.
While Apple relies on AWS and Azure for their cloud services. I’m sure they have some sort of agreement or control over the data that limits what Amazon and Microsoft could potentially access.
Apple however can’t guarantee the security or privacy of the Apple user when interacting with an Android phone via RCS. I wonder how they will twist a false sense of privacy
