    Reasoning

    They stated its for reducing spam and that jazz.

    However, it has the hidden benefit of yet another reason to avoid rooting, which means less access to functional adblocking

      yet another reason to avoid rooting

      we can all agree that literally nobody would give up their rooted phone if they’re forced to choose between root or RCS

        I don’t care how many services they break, I’m not giving up root access.
