Due to MMS/SMS messages getting hung I switched to YAATA for messaging people who do not have Signal. It is unfortunate Google is going to take exclusive control of SMS on Android with this RCS implementation. Just another "baked" in half-assed feature that android will permission wall its users from and support at the minimum level they can get away with. Now SMS can be natively as broken as notifications, face proximity sensors, file management, background service management, power management, and a myriad of other android "features" they refuse to fix.
