Apple finally caves, announces plan to bring RCS to iPhones in 2024

16 November 2023
Google will feel vindicated, but note that this doesn't mean blue bubbles on Android.

Sort by:

This is huge. I just hope they implement it so every message is the same colour bubble...

        Bluemarble, 17 Nov 2023Why US users still using iMessage where there are much bett... moreBecause most us people are dumb. They think iMessage have e2e encryption.
        E2E encryption does not allow anyone to read text except sender and receiver. Not even server can know what is inside message.
        But Apple can read all texts sent through iMessage. They even handover this data to authorities in case of warrant against that specific user. They even handover the contact list of that user to cops. How can iMessage be E2E encrypted then?

              For Android phones, they use Googles Messaging app, so what do Chinese phones use when they wanna use RCS, that means they have to download Googles Messaging app. The problem is again, Googles server passing through Jibe, which nobody trust's. someone else should be handling this, not GOOGLE.

                      Jae Ekow, 16 Nov 2023I don't care about the colours. I just wanna send texts. Yup simple …iOS users just hate fact that ppl don’t need to buy iPhones .

                        Why US users still using iMessage where there are much better chat apps like Whatsapp that rest of the world uses.
