Following the news that "Beeper becomes first RCS chat app for iPhones, introducing support for Google Messages with RCS" what are your thoughts on the app and on the RCS forced by Google? Is it worth a try? Or should I stick to Matrix and Signal?

I didn't know anything about Beeper. I've signed up for an invite. It looks like it could be good.

As I mentioned above there are also public matrix servers offering this.

The experience is a bit less seamless and fewer chat apps are supported, typically only the most popular ones like WhatsApp/Signal/Telegram.

Me too, I'm mostly interested to see how the iMessage implementation works with Android...

The only person I would message with this would be my girlfriend... And even with the option on hand we are pretty comfortable using Telegram, so it is more like a curiosity on my side.
