“Smart Features” in the Messages app have always been explicitly processed only on-device. This is a big change if it is different than that.
I’m betting they’ll make this opt-out, which is fucking shady as hell. And worse, I bet opting out your own messages doesn’t stop someone else that is opted in from unknowingly/unintentionally transmitting all your messages that they received. Ugh.
End to end encryption if both parties are using google’s implementation, delivered/read indicators, far better data limits for media, works without phone signal over data, message limits increased, free and international, fallback to sms if recipient doesn’t support it

On a somewhat related note, this is my main gripe with Beeper, or Matrix bridges in general. Someone could be using it, giving encryption keys to a third party, letting them handle your chats with them, and all of this without you ever even knowing.

Or use a third party sms app. I use fossify sms from F-droid.
Then you lose RCS?
What was the benifit again?

There is no open source implementation of RCS.
No open source implementation of our phone radio firmwares either but yet here we are
