Apple Finally Adds Most Wanted Feature

For years, Android has been pushing Apple to update to RCS to make messaging better for everyone. And Apple is finally starting to #GetTheMessage and adopt RCS. #SponsoredbyAndroid

RCS stands for Rich Communication Services. It's a modern industry standard for messaging, you can have a more dynamic and secure conversation with someone than SMS or MMS.

Apple. Forever a day late and a dollar short.

I’m on the beta program and have been using it for a few weeks now. Works great when you have data service

Meanwhile people on old phones gettin smses like … „reacted to your message with a smiley face“ 😁

What sucks is that the individual carriers need to support it, and it doesn’t seem like any of the major carriers in my country support it… :(

one time really long ago my friend sent an 8ball game to me and all it showed me was a jpeg image of the start screen and nothing else😭

Now we have to wait for some carriers to implement. It’s a mess.

So many years, Lew's video still looks sleek

Anybody else think Lew was unpacking an Apple fold for a second there? 🤔 that Pixel fold dark packaging reminiscent of an iPhone unboxing 😂
Just me then 😬😅

I’m on iOS my kids mom used android. I still can’t give a thumbs up or heart anything without it just sending her a whole ass picture of my action.

Didn't WhatsApp solve that problem for Apple users?

[pennyinheaven]

It sucks. We can’t text message without internet connection anymore. When towers are down and you don’t have enough for a phone call, you can’t even send an SMS. Maybe it’s not an issue in the US but outside US, I can see potential issues.

apple only adopted RCS because the EU forced them to. if they didn’t, iphones would still use sms

Sorry dude you're a few months late this old news

[diokdin]

It’s just funny people complaining about RCS and all the android people I know doesn’t even know about it and doesn’t turn it on. And if some of them did turned them on, they complain that if they do most of the messages they didn’t receive. They have to turn it off to receive messages from fellow androids. 🤷‍♀️

Had the weird issue where my iPhone could send a pic to android but they can't see it

[WcWZzQM]

iPhone users, you understand what RCS is ? R-C-S yes yes good job. Have a chocolate

[takondwamsosa]

Yap! I bet they feel stupid now. Ego doesn't help!

[markharry-williams]

I'm sure theres an option to turn it off

[TheHopelessGeek]

They still didn't change their dumb green bubble - blue bubble color system😅. Y'all aren't clear of this weird US-specific tech bullying phase yet.
