- mkrishnan 4y agoGoogle version of RCS would cripple iMessage. standard RCS is not good enough to be used in practice. Basically google wants apple to use its own version of iMessage (conveniently calls it as RCS and make it looks like it is standard)

Why? > Basically google wants apple to use its own version of iMessage (conveniently calls it as RCS and make it looks like it is standard) They want Apple to use RCS exclusively when an Apple user texts a non-Apple user, at which point the iPhone currently falls back to SMS. How is any version of RCS worse than SMS?
