TL;DR

  • Users who have rooted their phone, have their bootloader unlocked or are using some custom ROMs report that their RCS messages are not being sent, even though RCS shows them as connected.
  • The Google Messages app does not show any error messages when blocking RCS messages of these users and does not send the messages out as SMS or MMS either.
  • Google famously campaigned for Apple to include RCS messaging in iMessage but is now blocking it for certain Android users.

    My background: have build some already done ROMs and spoke with some Linux mobile people about it :). Just to let you know, I also need some source to prove it, but having so little info how RCS works in floating in public non-specialized space is also telling something.
