Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    I do, but if you pay attention to the ad-campaign, Google is touting features such as E2EE as a benefit to bringing it to iOS, which is NOT part of the rcs protocol, rather part of googles implementation.

    The RCS protocol by itself is only marginally better than SMS.

          I may be the only person on this thread old enough to remember that this has long been Apple’s MO, walled gardens and such.

          And also the only person couldn’t give less of a shit about blue or green bubbles. Both platforms are shit compared to numerous free dedicated third party communications apps.
