You mean something like RCS?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

RCS is more carrier based messaging and the whole stack is not built with proper E2EE as far as I know. No I'm thinking more like XMPP type open protocol, but endorsed by an international open standards body. I'm fearing that RCS is too tied to carriers just like SMS itself was.

Interesting that we already have a W3C standard for social networking but messaging itself seems to elude us..
