Don't even know what's going through googoo cloud , data, carrier , app, and what's pay in the end.

When you look at complexity and un-interopoerability of RCS it's version and history , carriers googoo and zamzung and badple are tweak protocols for themselves and locking users, saying it's improving and secure and blablabla..

I recall IT of 80-90's where we where focusing on interoperability. while now brands are doing their best locking all of us, and regulators don't have a clue what's going on.

Just rambling.

              Now for Android users, Google is forcing the users to use their Google Message apps without opening the RCS for 3rd party apps. Speaking of being anticompetitive.

                  it's impossible to use RCS outside western country i iOS

                    LMAO 'now hypes up'?

                    You mean Google's MAJOR parter that footed the bill and servers for RCS Platform for corporations to use like iMessage for Business?

                    Or that Samsung did NOT have to overhaul their Messages application NOR re-NAME it before implementing RCS features?!!!!

                    or that Samsung has THE BIGGEST reach of RCS use by models and range of devices globally across the entire planet?!

                    Yeah THAT SAMSUNG!

                              what's the point of all of this if the Apple user doesn't install Google Messages?

Crying over to a message sent as sms to a friend who use iMessage is pathetic. Will our world end because of that? DUH! Superficial at its finest. LOL
