    They're using the Signal protocol, this part of their roll out to replace SMS

    "Abbreviated as RCS, Rich Communication Service provides a, well, richer user experience than the ancient SMS standard. Typing indicators, presence information, location sharing, longer messages, and better media support are key selling points. They lead to things like better-quality photos and videos, chat over Wi-Fi, knowing when a message is read, sharing reactions, and better capabilities for group chats"

    If this will f*** over Facebook/WhatsApp I'm all for it

    Its still f*** google all day tho

    yeah definitely RCS is a great idea but I feel like it won't be super useful till Apple adds it into iMessage but it's definitely a nice upgrade.. having Android Messaging on your Desktop and the high file size for Photos/Videos is very nice f SMS

    RCS is 14 years old, the roll out for changes in the Tech space for Android + Windows is so insane

    There’s been soooo many attempts by Google for the last decade to upgrade sms, and they’ve failed each time for various reasons.

    I would love so much if it worked and I could ditch my new iPhone and go back to Android, but I just don’t see it happening tbh.

    It won't work unless apple adds RCS natively in Messages app. Unfortunately Apple has made a situation where green bubbles = bad and people just buy into that line of thinking.

    It does not benefit Apple at all to integrate RCS

    I mean it already works great from Android to Android users as long as you have newer phones

    Apple probably won't add it though
