Just to be clear about the privacy invasive design of the Apple encryption
implementation, you *must* log into Apple's Internet servers for it to
work; hence, Apple knows all the metadata surrounding all your messages.

To be just as clear, the current Android encryption implementations suffer
from the same huge privacy hole as does the iOS messaging, whether that's
WhatsApp or PulseSMS or Signal, etc., in that the moment you are logged
into a server on the Internet, your privacy is instant toast, by design.

However... I have no idea how RCS handles its encryption implementation.
Does RCS messaging also require the privacy-invasive server log in action?
