!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [Rich Communication Services] ([RCS]) compatible [Instant Messaging] solution from [Google] ([Android]).Google supports [Rich Communication Services] on [Android] [devices] with its Android [SMS] app Messages. In April [2018|Year 2018], it was reported that [Google] would be transferring the team that was working on its [Google] Allo messaging service to work on a wider [RCS] [implementation], which will be marketed under the branding Chat.
In June [2019|Year 2019], [Google] announced that it would begin to deploy [{$pagename}] on an opt-in basis via the Messages app, with an [RCS]-compliant service hosted by [Google] rather than the user's [Mobile Network Operators]. The rollout of this functionality will begin in [France] and the [United Kingdom], and it will be compatible with other [Rich Communication Services] implementations compliant with the [RCS Universal Profile]. [Google]'s [Jibe Platform] is an implementation of the [RCS Universal Profile], designed to help carriers launch [{$pagename}] quickly and scale easily.
!! [{$pagename}] [End-to-end Encryption]
[{$pagename}] will not support [End-to-end Encryption] at least to start.
[Google] has stated that it would only retain [message] [Data In Transit] until it is delivered to the recipient.
Technically, there’s nothing in the [Rich Communication Services] spec that would prevent building in [End-to-end Encryption]. [Google] just has to get the [GSMA] to agree to a [standard] to add on to the [RCS Universal Profile] (the spec that lets [RCS] services interoperate). That’s easier said than done, and it is not just [Mobile Network Operators], plenty of [governments|Government Entity] would be unhappy to see the default [SMS] method on 75 percent of the world’s [devices] have [End-to-end Encryption]!!
