Have you tried using RCS when you're used to iMessage? It's terrible. Constant failures, weird behavior when changing towers between telcos - not to mention what happens when traveling internationally, where RCS turns on, off, on, off... for a day after arrival.
And of course there's no encryption standard.
- notirk 2y agoI haven't had those problems with RCS on my Android phone over the last few years of using it. But yes, the lack of encryption (outside of Google's tacked on version) is a problem.
- Schiendelman 2y agoGoogle is going outside the standard to prop you up on their phones. Apple can't do that and remain compliant with the standard.
- worthless-trash 2y agoI use it every day and across multiple countries in Asia Pacific with no issues. Maybe its your phone going overseas and not working correctly.
- Schiendelman 2y agoOn what device?
- worthless-trash 2y agoSamsung S22+, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (aka everywhere but europe). I buy an Esim for countries I visit, usually before I go. Add it before the flight, sometimes in the country. List of countries I have worked with: Singapore (Roaming), Indonesia, Malaysia (I may have been roaming in Malaysia) I can't find the esim info, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, India (Maybe i was roaming, can't remember).
- Schiendelman 2y agoRight. As I said in the other thread attached to GP, Google is actually hacking RCS in a non-standard way to make you work. Apple can't do that, and the RCS standard is basically half done, so it absolutely sucks on any devices that have to use the standard rather than Google's implementation.
- worthless-trash 2y agoI assumed you meant google devices. Aka pixel.
