The weird thing is that so many people are buying into the Google and Apple marketing on SMS being insecure.

If you're on an unroooted smartphone running stock OS, nothing you do is secure

Basically everything is more secure than SMS though. Security is a gradient, and never absolutel.

Yes, but I was never under the impression that SMS was secure, and have never heard anyone say it was secure.

What it was, was cheap, designed to be free, effective and difficult to monetize.

Google RCS is proprietary and designed to sell your data as well as deliver targeted ads to you that you cannot block.

GraphineOS is more secure than the stock OS
