Re: Apple or Google. That’s even easier for them, because, you know, they’ve got access to the phone.
Okay, so no mobile chat apps are safe?
The point here is that Apple and (especially) Google are most certainly collecting your data when using RCS. And only the carriers and the govt are collecting your data in SMS, not Google or Apple.
In that way, I don’t think any RCS is superior in any way outside of functionality.
Okay, one last time. Those are two different issues.
The whole point of this thread was that it was possible to intercept the messages. That’s all. I doubt the OP needs to worry about that. But it’s possible as was stated by the other poster.
It’s like claiming that mail can’t be intercepted. Of course it can, but generally speaking you don’t have to worry about that. Though it would be foolish to claim otherwise (especially when one quick web search can show you cases when someone successfully pulled it off)
