As far as I know, carriers do explicitly have to point to some RCS endpoint to make it work on iOS though, because that doesn’t assume the Google fallback. Maybe that’s what they meant.
The UK didn’t make end to end encryption illegal. They just asked Apple to make them a backdoor, so it would technically not be end to end encryption anymore.
Well, it still is end-to-end encrypted. Just from your end to Apple’s end. 😂
Funny enough I had activated the Advanced Protection (which deletes the iCloud encryption key from Apple’s servers) like a week before that UK thing went into effect. And since Apple isn’t allowed to talk about this, there’s no pressure to deactivate it again so far.

So is RCS with E2E encryption illegal in the UK and Australia now?
