They really didn’t have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don’t need another pop up in my life.

    If I’m not mistaken then Apple can’t support RCS until Google opens it up. It’s a closed protocol tied to the Google Messaging app. Go look for another Android app that supports RCS. There are none. Okay, there’s one from an unknown company, with a bunch of bad reviews.

      It’s weird because it is a standard but Google’s implementation is not really the standard. For insurance, the standard does not use end to end encryption, Google does. Their implementation also runs over their own Jibe servers rather than carrier stuff. You gotta be a Google bestie with muscle like Samsung to get your rcs client on Android seems like.

        Well that’s out-fucking-standing!

        Edit:

        RCS will instead replace SMS and MMS and “exist separately from iMessage when available.”

        Well, that’s kind of concerning for iMessage users. Will they completely lose SMS and MMS support? What about when the iMessage or RCS servers are unreachable?

        Edit 2:

        and it’s planning to file an appeal against the government’s regulation of its App Store

        Does this mean they may not actually roll this feature out, or may yank it if they win their appeal?
