whatsapp much?
I’m extremely happy about this. I have friends and some family who have Pixel/Samsung so chatting will be much better. I liked RCS in Google Messages.
Just use WhatsApp?
I shouldn’t have too?
You do realise you’re complaining about not having a platform to talk to them because they don’t have iMessage and WhatsApp clearly solves your problem. Plus for rcs integration you’re gonna have to wait another year
I’d say just use Signal, but nobody listens.
Anyway, RCS is a big deal, and a good thing, overall.
That meta trash. You know they MITM’d that shit.
What does this bring to people outside od US?
I would like to edit a text sent to Android phone. Or reply to sent message. I like those features a lot.
Google just ended google messages
Except the green ones aren’t necessarily Android users.
The end…

Everybody out of USA are gone still using WhatsApp
I had to use WhatsApp for a group chat once. I’ll never go back to it
still no game pigeon for them tho
list of messager i dont use
This is awesome even though i typically use Threema or Signal for non apple to apple messages
Genuinely never thought or noticed this before. Now it’s going to bug me every time I see the Messages icon
As someone who uses both iphone and Android… Both use green bubbles. The imessage bubbles are green of you are using celular instead of internet to send messages.
Blue = iMessage. If it’s green, it was SMS, soon it will be RCS. When you don’t have a strong internet connection, depending on your settings, messages will revert to SMS. When you see the green, even if it’s to another iPhone, it is NOT iMessage and is NOT secure (sms is sent plain text)
What will this do though? I’ve never really paid attention to any of this? I what is the real benefit
It’s all nonsense.
People with enough bad taste to use Android stood out when they could not receive full resolutions videos or photos coming through at them via antiquated messaging text protocols.
Alphabet, formerly Google (Android), and their cohort could not help them and have been whining.
Meanwhile there are many messaging app out there. No one is really forcing anyone to use anything specific.
It’s all ebb and flow and popularity/ adoption seems to be driven by what someone’s family and social circle adopts to communicate.
Most people use native + 3-4 apps depending on who they want to talk to. For privacy, features etc etc.
Definitely not. iMessage isn’t going anywhere, they’ve said that. And RCS will just be green now.
Personally, I wonder will Apple use an orange-colored text bubble for incoming RCS messsges.
Even if you don’t understand the blue bubble thing, (aka not in the US), arcs is still important as it’s much more secure than SMS, so one time codes from banks and other things should be harder for hackers to get.
