[Feature request] Support for Google RCS Messages #46

I used to have this working on my old Samsung Galaxy phone. I tried it on a new Walmart Tracfone Samsung A13 (which, instead of SMS and MMS, it has now this new RCS technology), and it's not forwarding. I tried the webhook.site like you recommended for troubleshooting, and doublechecked the sending URL, and that didn't help. I also rebooted my phone and did more tests and it's not sending anything.

Okay, I can confirm. When I took another phone and set it to not do "Advanced Messaging" or "Chat Mode" and simply let it send ordinary "text messages" and "multimedia messages", that translates it to sending a true SMS message when I went to send some text. It doesn't matter what the gateway phone is set on -- it receives this as an SMS message and then this Android tool will automatically forward. So, evidently, it does not yet support the new RCS system, only the SMS system. Since most services that send SMS alerts or do 2FA alerts only use SMS, this won't be a problem for now and this tool does forward properly.

Any possibility of a new feature to support RCS mode? Not a huge issue for now, in my opinion.

yes, this also not work if the mobile connected with voice over WiFi, any update when this trigger can be implemented this is important as the mobile connect indoor with voWiFi only and SMS trigger is not detected by the app
