I give it a couple months before Apple pushes an update that mutes that stupid shit, and it will never be an issue again.

This is why we need gov regulation on interoperability.

Companies won’t do it themselves, and we all must suffer the annoyance of their tit-for-tat battles over who owns text messaging between smartphones.

Lol who gives a shit. Google will forget about this in under 90 days and we will never hear about it again.

When third party services like Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp allow you to message all platforms, this isn't as big of an issue for a lot of people nowadays

I would rather see iMessage on other platforms. RCS seems to have privacy concerns.

With iMessage, the encryption is end to end. At minimum allow for PC to use it. More people would be willing to buy iPhones if they could integrate iMessage to the pc as well.

Sounds like it's going to annoy everyone else that can't use RCS as well. Whether they're using any other text messaging capable client on Android or even using Google Voice's text messaging which for some fucking reason only supports SMS.

Until such a thing is implemented, there is still a security gap where iMessages still dominate.

Plus it can only do end to end encryption if the app has the RCS feature enabled in the app. I believe there is a carrier component to that as well.

There is, I mean listen if Apple opens up iMessage to all platforms and it gets universal adoption that would be great, I just done see it happening.

In reality I see RCS being developed more and apple eventually being forced to adopt it either though public pressure or by legislation.

Or more likely neither and we keep everything worse.

US still rocking oldschool SMS. They only recently moved away from cheques, and it took them years to move to chip and pin, while the rest of the world already had contactless.

They'll catch up by the end of the decade, probably.

My thoughts exactly. My Green Bubble will get told their phone is spamming people with extra texts, and then they'll stop using it.

I think Google overestimates how much people give a shit about this stuff.
