RCS Encryption will let Android and iOS users send secure messages

The RCS communication protocol is basically next-gen SMS, adding support for features like typing indicators, read receipts, and higher-quality image, video, and file sharing features. Google has been pushing the protocol for years, and last year Apple finally added support for RCS to its Messages app, bringing significant improvements to cross-platform (iOS and Android) chats.

One feature […]

@Tutanota Непогана стаття про альтернативні мессенджери, але зовсім не відкрили тему #Android #Google #Messages це гуглосміття без попередження та запиту встановлює з 2025 року пару програмуль на ваші мобільні пристрої – слідкують заради вошого добробуту! Раджу перевірити пристрої та видалити:

@technews #Apple (so-called) "intelligence" continues to impress me every day (#irony ), for example in my #messages with its so clever #autocorrect :

I spoke a few times with a guy named Andrew.
Since then, every *single* time I type "and" in a message, it replaces it with Andrew!

You have no clue how many times friends asked me why I texted them with stuff like: "I'm at the shop, I'll bring back salad Andrew tomatoes"

🤦

#enshittification is everywhere, run away while you can!

PS: I selling my #iPhone and #MacbookAir to get a #FairPhone and #Tuxedo computer ASAP 🤩

Interesting. Had my first (that I'm aware of) interaction with Apple's AI within their Messages app. It briefly summarized the last bit of the conversation and displayed it as a sub-head in the conversation list on the left.

I found it a bit weird. Sure, that person may have said that (in more words), but I'd prefer to read the text and make the judgement myself, rather than an AI summing it up for me in fewer words, before I even get a chance to read it and make up my own mind. Nuance was lost. Context lost.

Heh, and in this case, I guess the AI lost. (summary box unchecked).

Google Messages is the default SMS app for most Android phones. It's packed full of neat features. One of those simple, handy features you may not have known about is auto-deletion for one-time passwords (OTPs).

My cat walked on my iPad and somehow managed to mark all recent messages as unread. This was about 15 messages across numerous chats, both groups and individuals. I have no idea how she did this, but it could be a useful feature. I’ve asked the cat for an explanation but she refuses to talk. #iPad #Messages #CatsOfMastodon #Cats

I haven't used #SMS messages since like 5 years. Since today I remove #Whatsapp I decided to try it out again.

First thing after I opened the "#messages" app it shown me that it's actually #Samsung application and it's not default one on my phone. Default apparently was #Google one. So I opened it.

First it asked me to upload photo, then some description and the to suck it's dick or whatever.

Naturally I opened #FDroid and installed some #FOSS alternative but WHAT THE HELL.

There are only a few people that I need to regularly text message that haven't moved to Signal - I'm hoping at some point I can persuade them on there.

In the meantime, I've installed Textra to replace Google's Messages app. I'm not bothered about security with this one - it's only SMS.
