So any update on Three updating their network to support native RCS for either android or iOS? Since I would prefer to now use googles workaround for the android devices.
and before we are getting another response that it is apples job and using apples documentation as justification for that… how about quotes from wikipdia:
Rich Communication Services (RCS) is a communication protocol standard for instant messaging, primarily for mobile phones, developed and defined by the GSM Association (GSMA). It is a replacement of SMS and MMS on cellular networks with more modern features including high resolution image and video support, typing indicators, file sharing, and improved group chat functionality.
and further down:
Interconnection and hubs
edit
Mobile network carriers/operators typically have two ways to deploy RCS services: either basing it on their own IMS infrastructure, or use a third-party hosted service.[61] Like SMS, RCS requires national and international interconnects to enable roaming. As with SMS, this will be accomplished with hubbing – where third-party providers complete agreements with individual operators to interwork their systems.
This is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Communication_Services
and while we are on it. The carrier bundle that is getting referred to all the time:
Carrier settings updates let your carrier provider updated carrier network and settings to improve cellular network connectivity and performance. Carrier settings updates can also add support for new features like 5G or Wi-Fi Calling.

so again it is Three who needs to make the call to implement it and not another company.
