Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.
iMessage works.
Who has even heard of RCS outside of tech folk?
Edge browser works.
Who has even heard of TLS outside of tech folks?
… that’s what you sound like judging something so ignorantly. No wonder you’re an Apple user.
Ok. What makes anyone want RCS?
What makes anyone want iMessage?
It works and I don’t need to know what TLS is to use it.
Why would anyone want to stop using iMessage? It’s honestly quite good and the app integrations are great. Honestly the only iPhone users I know who don’t use iMessage are due to network effects (families in foreign countries where Whatsapp dominates).
It’s not about people wanting to stop using iMessage. It’s that over half of the mobile customer base CANNOT use iMessage because apple refuses to allow it. If Apple had created a solid Android app for iMessage, RCS would never have been created.
Because it’s obnoxious to anyone not using an Apple device.

What is TLS?
Tach person stuff.
Among the 20% of all phones globally, it does. Outside the US it’s hardly usable.
Not only does iMessage work, it works internationally for free.
So does 4G. Imagine if apple refused to support 5G? Yes the end consumer might not notice but apple refusing RCS is them refusing to update an old standard to it’s next version. I guess they dragged their feet with USC C and kept with a old USB 2.0 lighting cable for so long…
They could adopt RCS. But still keep iMessage users using their iMessage service backend and have the green/blue bubble thing still.
More like Apple already has 5G and you want them to support a different standard that you made up.
