Man, these outages have been ongoing this week, you can’t help but wonder if this is Russian related

It is isn't it! When you're a UX/UI designer you notice how bad it really is.

Well if you are a ux/ui designer, send apple Some notes on how to fix their awful calendar app.

Just curious. Are the issues caused by failures in Apple infrastructure, Akamai or Google Cloud?

There's always Android

at least rcs doesn't fail. ?

Multiple issues with Apple services this week. Glad that now everything is resolved.

Connection problems? It’s just a messaging standard, your cell network would have to be down for you to experience connection problems.

No. When I had an Android, RCS would not connect. It would sit on Connecting under Chat Features and would revert to SMS only.

There's absolutely ZERO systems that never has a failure.

Interesting, I’ve genuinely never heard of that before. What phone did you have? And what network were you on?

it happened on my OnePlus 8, S21 Ultra and S22+. OnePlus 8 and S21 were with T-Mobile and S22 was with Verizon.

Edit: All with the Google Messages app. Here is a reddit post regarding it too.

If I didn't believe it was a complete waste of time, that would be a great suggestion. The opportunities to improve Apple software know no bounds but we're all stuck with legacy garbage hobbled together to work across two vastly different operating systems.

I seriously wish they hadn’t gone with that awful flat design back on iOS 7. Although of all the bad things about that redesign the messages app is not one of them for me. I kinda love it and use it more than almost any app. The worst issue I have with messages is having to send low res images to android people. And that’s not going to change until RCS is encrypted end to end and secure from data data miners. Besides, it could be worse. Could be android.
