This sounds like a nice step towards modernizing texting, but it’s a shame that Messages doesn’t have an open RCS API to encourage broad adoption across messaging apps.

The better solution is to move away from proprietary messaging apps altogether. Simplex Chat, Jami, Session and signal all support both Android and iOS.
Perhaps, but iMessage is a pretty good protocol all together. You shouldn’t need to install an app to be able to use secure messaging.
I don’t know anyone who users either Simplex, Jami, or Session. Signal is nice, but it’s closed-off network isn’t great. I’d much rather see XMPP or Matrix take off, but those lack good apps.
Signal has third party apps like Molly. iMessage only works on Iphones and is utterly proprietary and locked down which makes it a bad option for most people.
