The use of RCS messaging

Apple and Android users have been warned that RCS end-to-end encryption is still months away and should look to other chat apps to communicate. Recently the attack by Salt Typhoon, which compromised several major carriers in one of the largest infrastructure attacks in US history, has highlighted the security issue. This, in turn, led to both the CSIA and FBI urging US citizens to use chat apps with end-to-end encryption when communicating. Meanwhile, the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSMA) is working to develop end-to-end encryption.One of the major changes brought with iOS 18 was the integration of RCS into its iMessage app, making it easier than ever to connect with Android phones. However, one major issue is that the communication between Apple and Android phones does not benefit from end-to-end encryption. What is your experience with RCS messaging ?
