Signal had SMS support and dropped it. I imagine any argument for Whatsapp interoperability would face a similar fate.

Now that iPhones have RCS messaging, is something like this still desired? Can't everyone just use RCS instead (assuming that everyone has a somewhat modern phone/OS that supports RCS). Or am I not seeing something here?
Interesting point. Does that mean iPhones and Android can now have a shared group over imessage/whatever it's called in Android? Are those messages encrypted?
The EU would like it, given that very few people here use SMS/RCS still.
