Apps won't be able to synchronize if the service doesn't support it and there is no protocol support for it?


The protocol makes sure a message sent from one phone/tablet/watch makes it to the other end. If you want to synchronise that message between your devices, you'll have to build that locally.

Apple, Google, and Samsung can synchronize SMS messages through their cloud services, so the same also goes for RCS. For more privacy-oriented folk, KDE Connect can also offer SMS messaging to the desktop by synchronising locally with a connected phone.
