I’ve found that my circle of contacts use the default messaging app for group chats even more now. I couldn’t get them to use Signal but at least they’re posting in the RCS group chat more instead of on Meta platforms.

From the perspective of being committed to not use anything Meta, I think it’s great that it exists. It’s very convenient that you can ask any third party or businesses to send any image or document through RCS instead of having to use WhatsApp, which a lot of them use by default these days. I personally ask them if they can first send it through Signal, but not a lot of them would do so and hence it becomes easier to make them use something that already exists on their phone by default.
Those serious about encryption would use Signal or Threema or other such apps anyway. But otherwise, this is great, especially now that it’s on both iOS and Android.
