        If the qr code options stays then its absolutely a positive, but RCS is already a (very frustratingly) closed ecosystem: locking certain features behind an account would just kinda suck, since google messages (or I think maybe Samsung messages also) is the only way to use RCS presently

          That’s literally not this. This is for accessing on tablets and computers via the web app.

            Yes, I know. I’d like to have access to that feature without having to use my google account

                RCS is the only way to get read receipts with most folks I know, and google messages is the only way to use RCS presently

                  If you have a problem with using a Google account on a Google product, don’t use that Google product. Use signal, WhatsApp or any other messaging service.
