Google’s statement:

“Everyone deserves to communicate with each other in ways that are modern and secure, no matter what phone they have. That’s why we have worked closely with the mobile industry to accelerate the adoption of RCS, and we’re happy to see Apple take their first step today by coming on board to embrace RCS. We welcome Apple’s participation in our ongoing work with GSMA to evolve RCS and make messaging more equitable and secure, and look forward to working with them to implement this on iOS in a way that works well for everyone.”

I mean, cool, I guess. But since converting my entire friend group and family to Signal I guess I personally don’t have any use.

My brief stint with RCS was nice, except when you change phones or they change phones or network connection gets weird, then things just get spotty. Similar to iMessage.
