Just remember that with RCS, unless they've decided to include a setting that bars any remote deletion - RCS is something that could be abused by arseholes allowing them to send nasty shit, and then play innocent after remotely deleting the evidence ... hard proof screen shots worked back in the day, but with the wonders of A.I. not so much.
My phones are strictly sms for text, I've no interest in google messages or other alternatives since the signal strength is low - I'd rather get messages in a timely fashion - not in a day or two.
