Yep the title is misleading.
"Google has stressed that Chat is not a new Google app. Since RCS is a communications standard, it is up to individual mobile networks and phone-makers to switch on the functionality."
The title should be something like: Google has started the global roll-out to support a new messaging standard.
- squeaky-clean 8y agoBut Chat is still a new Google app, isn't it? RCS is the new standard, but "Chat" is a Google app. There's a chance they could stop supporting it, and with the next-next version of android go back to shipping an SMS messenger, or (more believably) decide a new standard is better and ship that, dumping RCS. To me it reads like "Google has stressed that Chrome is not a new Google app. Since HTTP is a communications standard, it is up to individual mobile networks and website-makers to switch on the functionality."
