Just curious but why? Is it iMessage lock in?
- andrewmutz 8mo agoYes exactly. RCS exists but unless an iPhone user goes and turns it on it won't work. Which means no one has it turned on.
- indecisive_user 8mo agoI don't think that's true. Every iPhone user I've texted in the last 6 months at least has had rcs turned on, and that's including some very non tech savvy friends that I doubt did it manually
- rswail 8mo agoIt's also dependent on the telco supporting it. Australian telcos don't.
- rswail 8mo agoRCS compatibility with iMessages relies on the telcos to implement it, particularly for group chats. iMessages work using SMS 1-to-1, but group chats require the telcos to enable RCS instead of SMS. Of the 3 telco network operators in Australia, none of them have enabled it.
