- Kalium 8y agoYou may recall that Google tried to back Allo. They recently backed away from it, with press reports pointing to a near-total lack of support from critical players such as carriers. Google is stuck working with things their partners will support. They can't reliably be dictatorial like Apple can.
- amdavidson 8y ago> They can't reliably be dictatorial like Apple can. Why not? If they never shipped an RCS client and made Allo part of the required Android install for Play Services compliance, who is going to stop them? They choose not to be dictatorial.
