Not mine cause we leave those people out. It's not Apple's fault that SMS sucks, and RCS adoption was very slow even on Android. Even with all Android phones, a group chat is a disaster unless they use FB Messenger or WhatsApp, which is in fact what most people use. Market working as intended there.
- magicalhippo 3y agoMy new phone supports RCS, but I have several frinds who use dual SIM where only one of the devices support RCS. If I turn on RCS, only the device supporting RCS gets the message. Since it's a global switch, I've had to turn it off...
- MiddleEndian 3y agoMy phone has RCS and sometimes my RCS messages just don't go through for hours. It will randomly switch between RCS and SMS/MMS. Honestly I find Android to iPhone texting to be more reliable than Android/Android texting nowadays because at least I know it will just be SMS/MMS. It's pretty awful lol. You can say "it's the carriers" but if you make something that relies on some other people who won't do it right, you haven't made something good, you've made something where you can blame other people for it not being good. FB Messenger is better and I try to use it over texting whenever I can (in part because I don't need my phone at all to use it)
- harkinian 3y agoYeah it's really hard to make something complex work with so many parties involved. 2-way SMS works well enough at least.
- rewgs 3y ago> Even with all Android phones, a group chat is a disaster unless they use FB Messenger or WhatsApp Excellent point. This is a large part of why I don't agree with iMessage "exclusion" somehow rising to the level of antitrust. iMessage doesn't make Android texting worse, it just reveals how bad it already is.
