I'm just sad Apple didn't push for iMessage to become THE messaging standard. Google is still trying with RCS. Hopefully it takes off.
- goosedragons 3y agoNo they didn't. The fact this confusion can occur is proof along with all the issues people have had after switching OSs. A proprietary messaging service is fine, it was what people liked about Blackberrys back in the day. The silent upgrading is the problem.
- solardev 3y agoOh, that's a good point! I do hate how they merged iMessage alongside SMS in the same client. It's hecka confusing for everyone.
- cmiles74 3y agoIn my opinion RCS isn't really comparable to iMessage; it still needs support from the network provider and needs the cell phone data network to function. We really need some kind of standards based internet messaging solution in order to fill the space of iMessage on Android devices... Perhaps something like Google Chat or Allo or Hangouts, LOL!
