In fact, I don't think I've ever received spam through RCS, but I have through MMS and even more so through SMS. Looking back at all the spam texts I've received in the past several months, every single instance was SMS/MMS. Not a single time of RCS.

For some reason Android is quite good at blocking SMS spam these days, except for the RCS group thing. At least for my specific use case, in Europe.
