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?

Doesn't look like it's FOSS, so I'm not even going to bother trying it.

The clients are closed source, but they use Matrix bridges to connect to various messaging services, and those are in fact open sourced.

Sorry, just want to make sure others read this properly. I think you meant

The clients aren't ~~closed~~ open source.

They are closed source forks of Element's desktop/mobile/web apps.
