Communicating with likes, exclamations and loves is most annoying with an Android in the bunch — iMessage cleverly quotes the whole message you liked, which contextually is required, and doubly grinds the conversation to content mulch

  Probably, at the very least they're confirmed to be aware of the network effects of the ecosystem (imessage is also specifically called out) https://twitter.com/TechEmails/status/1463558823109660677 https://twitter.com/TechEmails/status/1463558823109660677

iOS users see those too in SMS mode? In that case the Android users might actually have the cleaner experience after the latest update: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/google-messages-update-bridges-one-gap-between-blue-and-green-bubble-people/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/google-messages-upda... I get the impression that even without RCS, Apple could have done more to keep the experience usable for the iOS users in SMS fallback mode.
