Apple to Adopt RCS Messaging Standard for Better Interoperability With Android Devices

[splifingate]

And they did. I can easily text android users at the table. They just didnt get imessage features.
And knock off products like this aren't going to do anything but cause more drama when it inevitably gets disabled.

I can share texts with people using android all-day-long, easily. I do so, daily.

I sometimes have a few problems sharing Apple-made .pdf files, but that's all.

It's when I'm on a shared thread with multiple people--using disparate OS's--that the problems arise.

A co-worker (iPhone) shares a video with I (iPhone) and another co-worker (android), and we we all "see" a 1cm^2 blob with a translucent triangle as highlight. When "played", it's just a 1cm^2 blob that has animation.

I often get the same thing with a txt forwarded by an iPhone user from an android user.

Full-size photos/videos are not exclusively an iMessage feature.

I re-iterate: it's AAPL's responsibility--as an adult Member in this common-community--to adhere to common-principals/-protocols allowing all of us to receive--and send--in a language that everyone understands.

Android is not a knock-off (quite the opposite).

If AAPL can dedicate the resources to iMessage that enables me to have a Unicorn avatar, surely it's a no-braier that they can enable me to maintain a 1:1 life-experience convo with a friend who just-so-happens to prefer an os that differs from mine.

*sigh*

Android is a knockoff lol. It’s early days were at best a better windows mobile and Symbian and then we saw how much Samsung emulated apple in the early galaxy days lol.

Honestly it wasn’t until probably around 2014-2015 that I can say android became its own unique thing. Still a mess.

Shame much better os such as windows phone and webos died out but I guess when android is given to everyone for free I shouldn’t be shocked

I must admit that I'm the other person who really like WebOS, and also Windows Phone. Besides iOS those were the ones that made sense to me.

Android is annoying
But I’m glad even with its popularity the world (at least in the states and Canada), it does seem to be apple focused first.

I was using a rental and my friend was struggling with the Bluetooth on his fold. The car easily connected to CarPlay.
