      It would already be mostly that way, but Apple, being the POS company that it is, refuses to switch their messaging system to RCS like everyone else. Apple wants to use only their proprietary imessage and it’s not compatible with everyone else. They are why all messages aren’t encrypted.

      They’re also being forced/pressured into changing this in the near future, I believe.

        Wrong on both counts; Apple does support RCS, and RCS doesn’t support encryption. Google messages can be encrypted, but that is done using a proprietary handshake that Google implemented on top of the RCS protocol.

          That doesn’t change the fact that Apple implemented RCS after a lot of kicking and screaming. They also refused to make iMessage portable or pose any viable alternative.

          They’re finally working with Google to allow RCS encryption with iPhones at some point in the future IIRC. However, Apple is majorly to blame for delays.
