You could do it with a $40 Raspberry Pi, an internet connection, and a free DDNS service. I can make my own email server and communicate with anyone else on the internet with very little cost or effort (and a bit more know-how). All of the other actually open messaging standards on the internet allow this.
ANDROID MESSAGES CHAT FEATURES FULL
The best way to do that is to make your own server that you have full control over. One of the big indicators of technology that supports freedom and longevity is whether or not you have the ability to really own your data. RCS just doesn’t even try to provide security and privacy for its users.
Most other internet based electronic chat apps and services can enable end-to-end encryption with proprietary means and thus don’t allow other services to federate.
ANDROID MESSAGES CHAT FEATURES UPGRADE
Text messaging never had end-to-end encryption and the upgrade to RCS won’t enable that capability either. You will be able to turn off the read receipts and typing indicators if you want.Īnd then there’s Google’s awful track record when it comes to supporting messaging apps for any extended amount of time. You know, the things that all other internet messaging systems are capable of. This will enable advanced features like high resolution image attachments, video attachments, read receipts, and typing indicators. After that, text messages will be sent through the internet ( via Google’s Jibe servers) instead of piggy-backing on your cell phone’s connection signal. This switch will send your phone number to Google’s servers and register it as a chat-capable account, which is to say it will enable RCS (Rich Communications System). based Android phones with Google’s default messaging app should have a new preference to enable chat features. Google is focused on RCS now and has been building it into the default text messaging app on Android. Google has been trying to get carriers to upgrade to a new system of electronic messaging called rich communications system or RCS since before they gave up on most of Google’s other terrible electronic messaging systems.
