      I kind of want the different colors for now. This will be unencrypted until we get universal E2EE that isn’t being gate kept by Google.

      That’s a pretty important feature gap, and I want to know if something isn’t secure E2E.

        RCS isn’t “gatekept” by Google, it’s an open standard. Other companies could set up their own RCS servers but they didn’t want to spend the money.

      It would be very Apple-y to let people set the bubble color. I hope they do the usual thing of finding a way forward without having to admit they were wrong. It’s a bit annoying but better than nothing
