The mobile standard setter, GSMA, and Google have said encryption will be coming to RCS, but there’s no firm date yet.

GSMA, please don't come up with yet another poorly designed encryption standard.

The IETF is already working on Messaging Layer Security (MLS), please work with IETF and adopt MLS. IETF have more experience and do a good job at designing secure protocols. And multiple organisations and services are already working on adapting MLS (Mozilla, Google, Matrix, Wire, ...)
