Not a problem since it doesn’t inconvenience me since I don’t talk to green bubble ppl.
No stress at all.
No im just lucky that most people I meet are smart to use iPhones lol.
Okay so don’t use meta which most of the world seems to have no issue using (WhatsApp). Not wanting to use meta apps is a minority.
It’s wholly unreliable. As I expected.
Stop exaggerating, you hated RCS long before Apple implemented it. It is new for iOS and still being worked on by Apple with their mobile operator partners. It is actually more stable than I imagined it would be and from my experience works about 90% of the time.
You don't have to first send as sms. The way Apple has implemented the RCS registration system is not working properly, yet.
Just like iMessage. Mid conversation it switches back and forth. This conversation was last Wednesday with a friend via iMessage. RCS in contrast has been more stable for me than iMessage.
That is an Apple design issue that they can fix but just like their implementation of RCS they are doing the bare minimum.
Not true, the setting is there but I it doesn't work properly. Sometimes it attempts to send as SMS and sometimes it doesn't just like iMessage. Another Apple implementation issue that they need to fix.
Apple needs to fix that.
It is not. There are lots of things Apple can implement using RCS tapbacks to make them on par with iMessage but it requires them actually being Pro consumer and working with Google but they won't.
RCS was a mess on Android prior to Google taking over the implementation.
Apple can port same features from iMessage to RCS to make them on par because RCS is expandable just like Google has done for RCS on Android. Make the implementation open for Google to adopt but your response is "No". Yet you are complaining that it is sms 1.5.
Yes, let's applaud the trillion-dollar corporation for making the customer experience terrible. Because that makes sense to do as a customer.
You literally said you were never going to use it. I truly hope your circle of friends are smarter than that.
Thank you for your unbiased review about the current state of RCS support in iOS 18 beta. From everything I have seen so far, RCS is working fairly well for iPhone users. There are several reports of bugs, but that’s expected with beta software. As someone who uses an Android phone, RCS was a bit buggy at the start back in 2019, but it didn’t take long to become very reliable. The only way my RCS messages won’t go through is if my signal is so weak the data flow dies. I expect Apple’s implementation to be just as reliable as time goes on, but it takes time to fix bugs. By now the backend is robust with Jibe hosting most carriers, but the app will need some work. So far things are definitely looking promising.Stop exaggerating, you hated RCS long before Apple implemented it.

You’re right. I have. It doesn’t mean I wasn’t going to try it. So your point is….
Whereas iMessage for me and sms has worked in tandem 100 percent of the time. When one isn’t working the other backs it up.
Thank you for telling me what i have to do on my phone.
Never had that experience. Only time is when I’m in a T-Mobile dead zone.
As they should. They’ve already given their users a very stable and respected messaging platform.
iMessage almost always falls back for me to sms when needed
More like taking a stance against governments being over aggressive and also realizing some of us don’t want google anything in our phone. I rather keep malware off my phone or have my data protected better where I’m not the product.
They have no reason to.
And again not everyone wants google. Which I’m glad. Google is terrible.
I’m not complaining. I don’t care.
Most of
My experience and millions of others is great. More importantly any messaging needs I have have always been able to be fixed with whatever cross platform app I wanted to use.
And my opinion can change. I used it. I hate it. It’s disabled. You’ll be okay.
My friends trust me when it comes to tech but yes they are smart and seeing as they already use WhatsApp or other apps already RCS is nothing they are missing out on.
Right? I received a high-resolution picture from an Android phone, that alone makes it worth it. I turn off read receipts and can live without most of the tapback features but sending big files, high resolution photos and videos native in the messaging app is sweet.
It flipped back and forth a couple times from SMS to RCS which seems to be a known bug at this time in the beta. It’ll only get better as it moves through the beta to the final release. It’s a new protocol for Apple so it might take until an 18.x release to be as stable and reliable as it is Android to Android, but I’d say they have a great start.
Thank you very much for summary. It’s probably why Apple was not in hurry as it still mature.
I use Telegram heavily but for sending any media to random people or customers is still easier to use cumbersome RCS then persuade someone to install my preferred app.
Nah that was the eu (since they were trying to gatekeep imessage)
No they aren’t.
How are your really sitting here trying to tell me which one is worse FOR me. like are you for real. That’s not for you to justify if my opinion and experience is valid because it’s not yours. They both collect data. Meta is less problematic than google.
I own 2 galaxies and my mother uses a pixel. It’s just as unreliable and wonky on 🤖
