First of all, the UI and UX is worst! Second, you people want us to use this app as our primary SMS app, and to ensure that RCS on Jio only works in this app! Who's going to install this UGLY and Useless app over Google Messages and Microsoft SMS. By limiting users from using RCS and benefiting from it is a very cowardly move from Jio. It clearly shows their desperation for converting people to their apps which are worst. Please is you are kind enough let RCS be free for other SMS apps.

This app isn't half as useful as it intends to be. While RCS used to work in Google Messages until March 2020 on Jio, some random update of Carrier Services disabled it. Jio wishes it's customer to use this ancient messaging app that no one uses just so that one could use RCS. And I may have used it if it allowed sending RCS messages between operators, but since it can't, this app will sit at 1 star.

RCS Chat in Google Messages app is supported by most Indian mobile service providers, enabling interoperability between users of different networks. This openness of communication was the underlying objective of SMS's evolution. Yet Jio doesn't support it. Instead, it shoves this piece of garbage app upon us where the only other person you can communicate with is another Jio user who has installed this app. It is no wonder why Telegram and WhatsApp thrive amidst these regressive practices.

The app is useless in the real world. It's just jio to jio RCS. Not universal. It's completely defeats the purpose of having RCS. and the network doesnt still support RCS on my Samsung phone. So in short dont download. It's useless. WhatsApp is better than this or anything like Google messages.

Pros:-This app is really a true replacement to OEM messaging application. Supports WhatsApp like features and need not open any additional account. Cons:- Need of dark mode feature and material design theme.
