  • Google Messages turning on RCS by default, group E2E encryption launches

    Jump

  • Google's RCS has 800M active users and it's projected to hit 1B by the end of the year matching iMessage's usage. Whether people actually know that it's RCS or not, it's been a pretty successful service for Google so far.

  • That's actually strange. Google said a while back that all devices with Google Messages installed should be able to use it regardless of carrier too.

  • The one bug that I've had for a long while now is the "auto resend as SMS" feature that's supposed to kick in if the RCS chat fails, takes forever to work. It's much faster to just manually hit the send as SMS option if there are issues going on.

    It uses the Signal protocol for its encryption so they went with a well known and proven option, but metadata isn't encrypted like it is with the actual Signal app apparently so it's not quite as secure.

    A good chunk of my family uses Android and all have RCS enabled so I get to use it a good amount and it's been pretty solid for me.

    Edit: the desktop app is actually just a PWA website so that might be able to get around your work PC's restrictions on installing apps.

  • You should also be able to swipe on the message to direct reply and send reactions too

  • What android client do you use?

    Jump

  • I'm in the same boat. Sync was my go to Reddit client and will most likely be my go to Lemmy client. For now though I don't mind Connect and it's Canadian so gotta support the fellow Cannuck lol

  • What are Android's Best Weather Apps?

    Jump

  • Overdrop is a really nice one with a great looking UI.

    Carrot Weather is also pretty good and has funny quotes it shows you if you like that kinda thing, but the dev is primarily an IOS developer so the Android app is pretty far behind feature wise if you compare the two versions.
