    RCS isn’t good enough. There is only one app that it works on. Sometimes, no… often it just doesn’t work. I’m currently starring at a thread that used to work, but now I can’t send messages too. I made it! Everyone had rcs.

    Fuck the whole thing.

      My VPN kills RCS for some reason. Not a huge issue for single messages, cuz those will default to SMS if RCS fails. But it’s awful for group texts, which don’t automatically fall back to SMS. I simply don’t get group RCS messages that are sent while my VPN is enabled.

      I missed a group text that my stepfather was in the ICU, and didn’t see anything until I left work and disabled my VPN. The first thing I saw in the group chat was my mom going “he’s out of surgery now” and I had so many questions.

      Half the time it works for me (Android talking to apples), and the other half of the time the encryption, reactions, etc just don’t work. It’s frustrating.
