    How is that going to help if the only RCS apps for Android are proprietary Google or Samsung apps?

      It’s actually not that RCS. Apple is saying they’ll adopt RCS the standard which would likely be a big wildcard.

        Yes, so which FOSS Android app will be interoperable with the new iMessage?

          Propably when Google allows Android apps to access modem-level RCS message sending. Right now Google Messages do everything via Google’s some sort of a proxy server.

          A whole lot of mess just like always when phone operators do anything.

          Imagine how cool it could be if every mobile provider would just provide data and free XMPP account with autoconfigure instead of RCS or VoLTE crap.
