Lol says the person who doesn’t know rcs is not encrypted, RCS and Google RCS are not the same thing, google is using a propriety addon for their encryption

Google Urges Apple Not to 'Drop the Ball' on Fixing Messaging in New Billboard Pushing RCS

Lol it will be funny when they shut down google rcs just like their other projects
Apple chooses to believe that there is no demand for this. They know and have had private company e-mails unearthed in court that say otherwise.
You can use any existing app to do that stop limiting yourself lol
Hey Google,
„How secure is RCS? Unlike iMessage or WhatsApp, RCS doesn't support end-to-end encryption, which encrypts messages as they travel from sender to recipient. That means messages sent over RCS could technically be intercepted and viewed by third-parties.“

Every Android Phone Now Has RCS Messaging. Here’s What You Should Know
Thanks to RCS, Android users can now send messages that come with read receipts, better group chats, and more. But what is RCS?
You do know that there is an entire planet outside of the US where Android is more or less the dominant platform?
As an iOS user outside of the US I would very much appreciate if I had a good messaging platform built into my phone that worked with the many people that use Android, which really isn't going anywhere.
Just use any decent messaging app why are you limiting yourself
Fair enough, my mistake.
To your question, it’s the most watched New Year’s Eve special in the country. A reference to the ball dropping would be understood symbolically to be referring to the start of the New Year notwithstanding their time zone.
Rcs is not modern, it’s not been adopted by networks for a reason
I know that MacRumors is US centric, but this is really beyond anything else. Outside of the US, almost no major mobile carriers have implemented RCS support. Apart from many objections I have to RCS, RCS wouldn't do me any good as my carrier hasn't implemented RCS and has no plans to do so.
All major mobile carriers and manufacturers have implemented RCS support, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Motorola, Nokia, OnePlus, Samsung, Sony, and others, with Apple remaining the lone holdout.
You fail to understand the networks do not support rcs, implementing support for something is not supported is worthless all you are doing is using a proprietary google rcs which is not official, not a standard and they can shut it down in 2 years when they get bored
your wrong - just at a very low level you have a point. It can send sms - but the so called iMessages are a proprietary format.View attachment 2137342
My iPhone came with this app called "Messages"
It allows me to send a message to any phone in the world if I know their phone number.
So it seems that Apple already has a compatible messaging app.
Let me help you with some knowledge, or better - just read it yourself. If you do not want to read, long story short: You are completely wrong …

The only reason I want Apple to implement RCS or to open up iMessage is so that I don't have to see posts of Americans talking about how they're forced to buy iPhones because of iMessage anymore. So weird how people in the US want to lock themselves in like that instead of using a cross platform messenger app.
or write via whatsapp or any other messenger
That’s actually what made me star t to resist Google. I went to do some maintenance on my Dad’s PC. He had installed chrome because it installed itself with some other software. When I deleted chrome it seemed that everything was urging me to re-install it. It was beyond annoying. It was creepy. I switched from Google search to Bing or DuckDuckGo and have never looked back. No gmail accounts. No Google photos. YouTube is the only thing I can’t avoid.
I use iMessage because all of my friends use iMessage. I have friends in other countries. All but one uses iMessage. I’m not going near anything Facebook or Google make.
It is the same story - again. Apple was the only company that refused to switch to USB-C.
And, when you read the article, it also remains the lone holdout to implement RCS.
Apple hates open or common standards, cause standards or compatibility violate its „lock customers in, lock competition out“ guideline.
Google is trying because it would benefit Google
So what? Apple is blocking it because it benefits Apple. There's no reason for us to apply a double standard here.
As a user, my question is do I want improved out of the box messaging regardless of which phone the other person is using? I'm not sure why my answer would be no.
