Apple should’ve BEEN supporting RCS! The fact it took this long is ridiculous.

[jebaker]

I would love Apple to make RCS a different color bubble. Doesn’t need to be iMessage blue bubble… even a different shade of green to make it clear your in RCS.

1.Your font size on Pixel is humongous.

2. Head over to Google messages and enable IPhone reactions.

[andrehovsepian]

In Zollotech’s video, RCS worked for group messaging.

[callmeseags]

I think purple would be a cool color for RCS on iPhone

[JeffPom]

Group message - I believe others have it working.

[mahendraperiyadanam]

1. Google Android device checks if the other (terminating) party is capable of RCS Messaging feature or not, before the originator sends the message as per design, whereas Apple being new to RCS Messaging needs to develop this feature.
2. The three dots (...) is called IsTyping indicator which tells that the other party is typing/composing a message. (In RCS, it is called IsComposing indicator)
3. The reason why Apple device loses the RCS Messaging and goes back to SMS (actually, it is not the legacy SMS over SS7 protocol but it is SMS over IP protocol or SMSoIP) is that there is a timeout of 180 Seconds (configurable by the operator) beyond which the dedicated Chat (MSRP) channel is deleted.
4. In Android device, if you press on message, it should give you when the message was delivered and displayed. (Display is called as Read by Marketing people. In RCS standards, it is called display notification, as we dont know whether the party has read the message or not ; understood or not, which is not the business of communication service provider 😀)

IDK why you enlarged the fonts on Android but not on iOS

Is this intentional?
(So the Android User interface looks weird)

IYKYK...


Update: I just saw that's your Dad's Phone...
Now I get it :)

[gphillimo]

The biggest complaint hasn't been bubble color, it's been apple making photos/videos sent from Android phones look like they were taken with a potato. I'm gonna stay on Samsung always and i refuse to buy an iPhone

[bob_smite]

I hope this comes out to the next final release! I would be finally able to send videos via text instead of uploading them to youtube first.

[tonyo.]

🐬 Nice job. I’m looking forward to the update next month. Thank you.

[parkingthought]

🐬 did you notice that on iPadOS 18 you can manage fonts via settings?

[NickDrinksWater]

Apple: Known for being abnormally late to the game, every time lol

[YeetusMingus]

Nobody seems to know the answer to this: is RCS enabled by default in iOS 18 or do you need to enable it?

[lattewondurr]

🐬🐬🐬 great video, can wait to test this

[jasdosanjh]

Will RCS on iPhone run on wifi or carrier service

[kristincote]

I am on beta 3 and I don’t have the rcs option in settings. 😢

[the_bg_ne]

🐬 Gif with a hard G because it stands for Graphical so it gets pronounced like graphical. If it stood for something like giraffe, then I'd pronounce it like the peanut butter, but Jiff is already taken.

[ThatHz-]

What I’d like to know more than the responding features and status is encryption. Will we finally have private encrypted messages for SMS & MMS across platform?

[Chris-dwxl]

Some are sent as rcs and others sent as sms I’m on 18.6 public beta not sure what’s going but what I’ve tried at home on my sons phone one pixel 8 other Motorola g54 both messages come up as rcs but when message a friend which I do know he as a Samsung device it comes up with sms just plain odd 😮
