  • Granular privacy controls for profile sharing

    That said, there is one noticeable new feature for users: easier profile sharing. This feature allows users to share their name and image from existing profiles such as their Google, Apple or operator accounts in a conversation, ensuring that parties in a conversation become easier to identify, particularly in group settings. In keeping with RCS’s focus on ensuring their privacy, users will be able to control who can receive that information.

    Looks like iOS devices just recently started supporting E2EE between android and iOS (as long as iOS users have updated to iOS 26.5 and android users are on the latest version of Google Messages).

    I’m hoping this means that we’ll start to see other messaging clients supporting RCS besides Google Messages.















  • For “AI editing”, I don’t have much of a problem if a model was trained to tweak the settings in something like Darktable to achieve a good baseline to start with. However, for contributing to research like this, I draw the line when models start generating their own pixels and overwriting the original image.

    Hopefully iNaturalist and other similar groups start to look at the metadata of submitted images to help warn/educate end users about this problem. That would at least help with the AI literacy issue. Those metadata tags are already being placed there by the most popularly used tools.
