Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    I don’t see this happening. Apple to/from Android are the only texts that the government can easily snoop on.

      There are mandated back doors in most message apps. Messages between different message systems are normally harder to read

        RCS has an e2e encryption extension (created by Google)

          All currently available RCS implementations are proprietary, you can’t trust the encryption if you can’t verify it.

        Except the commenter above is talking about SMS/MMS which is not encrypted and very easy for a government to snoop on via the telecom company. You have no protections.
