    They should have used something like the Matrix or Signal protocol, some open standard, as opposed to RCS, which you can only use on Android with two proprietary apps - Google and Samsung Messages.

      RCS is the new MMS. It’s the official “text message” replacement.

      It’s shit and until the standard becomes not shit, messages between Android and iMessage are still going to suck. Almost all the stuff people think is RCS are the proprietary Google extensions that only work through Google’s servers.

      But they’re supporting it because it’s the next iteration of “texting” carrier wise.
