Google appears to be working on an editing feature for the Messages app. The feature is hiding in the latest beta.

This sounds like a nice step towards modernizing texting, but it’s a shame that Messages doesn’t have an open RCS API to encourage broad adoption across messaging apps.

    How about a proper backup system? I literally lost access to a group chat just because I changed phones. None of the RCS group chats migrated. Until, they fix the usability and reliability issues it will remain inferior with low usage.

    Plus, whose stupid idea was it to remove the auto sort groups in message organisation? I had tabs for OTP, banking, personal, promotion, chats separated; Which was much better than the default clusterfuck you call now.

      Or the fact that even enabled, the rcs does not switch to SMS when rcs is magically unavailable. They just don’t send until legitimately 16 hrs later.
