    Definitely not. iMessage isn’t going anywhere, they’ve said that. And RCS will just be green now.

      Personally, I wonder will Apple use an orange-colored text bubble for incoming RCS messsges.

    Genuinely never thought or noticed this before. Now it’s going to bug me every time I see the Messages icon

    I’m extremely happy about this. I have friends and some family who have Pixel/Samsung so chatting will be much better. I liked RCS in Google Messages.

        I’d say just use Signal, but nobody listens.

        Anyway, RCS is a big deal, and a good thing, overall.

          You do realise you’re complaining about not having a platform to talk to them because they don’t have iMessage and WhatsApp clearly solves your problem. Plus for rcs integration you’re gonna have to wait another year

    Honesty if android had a data based messaging app that was as smooth and seamless and I message, I’d probably make the switch back.

    I enjoyed alot of things android but as I got older ease of use and functionality are #1 priority

      But that actually is the Google Messaging app. I have iPhone 15PM and Google Pixel 6 Pro and I honestly can’t see anything different between messages in android and iMessage. If you have RCS enabled on android, your messages do become data based, you get typing notifications, read receipts, can send pictures and videos over internet.

      I don’t understand it myself, both are so similar, android messaging is android to android and iMessage is iPhone to iPhone. They can both easily do what the other can, so this whole thing makes no sense to me

      I think it should be a completely different color. Maybe orange. Having green mean two different things isn’t cool.
