Since apple implemented RCS, I haven't 'hounded' my iPhone-using friends 
to upgrade/enable it, but they do seem to be doing it.

If the RCS 3.0 protocol exists, there's no reason for Google to stick 
with their proprietary encryption, so it feels like once apple and 
google have been through a round of upgrades, we will get 
interoperability (which we already have) with encryption (which we 
don't) ...
