I’m just sitting here frustrated because I’m wanting my family to move away from messaging me over SMS (they mainly use iOS), but they refuse to download any extra apps. But Google’s RCS really doesn’t look like a solution either since it mainly just seems to be a way of enforcing Android as an ecosystem, and they don’t even make RCS available for 3rd party apps to use either.
Huh, I hadn’t heard about any of this. I guess that’s because I use Google Voice, and none of the features going into the Messages app have made it over to the Voice app.
Got rid of my GV # after ~10 years w/ it so that I could use RCS. Not a vast difference tbh but feels a lot more modern
