Is there any FOSS app that can handle RCS too or is that all still closed off

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

I have not seen any FOSS apps that can do this, or many apps at all. Certainly nothing that looks like an app you'd want to use. I don't know what the technical reason is for this. Does Google make it deliberately difficult for third-party apps to do RCS?

You can't get RCS without Google Messages. An option is using a messaging apps like Beeper https://www.beeper.com/, which can connect to Google Messages (bridge) so you can read your messages in Beeper.
