It started with an FBI texting warning, but it’s getting worse. Here’s what you need to know.
For Android users, your phone has suddenly changed. It took just 14-days to destroy years of slow RCS progress with a security nightmare that’s now getting worse. Even the mainstream media is warning users away from RCS , leaving Google with some thinking to do. And Apple’s surprise move may mean it’s already too late.
RCS is little understood. While it is a carrier networking protocol that was developed as a successor for the woefully insecure SMS, its use is almost entirely now within Google Messages. Other RCS platforms, especially in the U.S. , are pushing users to Google Messages. As such, Google Messages has become Android’s iMessage alternative, but one with a killer vulnerability buried deep inside.
But that twist was overlooked—the story became one about basic content security and the need to protect texts and calls from hackers inside U.S. networks. The reality is that Apple and Google have taken completely different approaches to messaging and that now shows. Apple’s iMessage is arguably the best messaging architecture available today. It is completely secure, runs seamlessly across multiple devices relying on Apple’s trusted device architecture, and integrates with its equally secure FaceTime platform to add voice and video calls into the mix.
