@privacy Should I use my carrier messages app?
My network provider namely reliance jio also built an messaging app for Android. It have defiantly sms, mms support, and also RCS, organiser, etc.
So should I use it or not?
Asking as if I am not wrong all the sms info go by their server so they already know everything.
What else will they get from me if I use their app?

Installing their app means they can execute code on your device, and have access to whatever information can be gathered through the permissions granted to the app. That can be a lot of information, including things like voice recordings, motion sensor data, location, other apps installed, waking hours… it can be quite invasive.
