The one bug that I've had for a long while now is the "auto resend as SMS" feature that's supposed to kick in if the RCS chat fails, takes forever to work. It's much faster to just manually hit the send as SMS option if there are issues going on.

It uses the Signal protocol for its encryption so they went with a well known and proven option, but metadata isn't encrypted like it is with the actual Signal app apparently so it's not quite as secure.

A good chunk of my family uses Android and all have RCS enabled so I get to use it a good amount and it's been pretty solid for me.

Edit: the desktop app is actually just a PWA website so that might be able to get around your work PC's restrictions on installing apps.

You probably shouldn't send private messages on your work PC though.
