In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users.
Apple’s decision comes amid pressure from regulators and competitors like Google and Samsung. It also comes as RCS has continued to develop and become a more mature platform than it once was.
Really? Like honest to God? They aren’t gonna gimp the implementation, are they?
Yellow bubbles for all RCS messages.
Yellow bubbles and the text notification sound is permanently a teenage girl saying “ewww”
Brown bubbles
Shit bubbles
What if we call it “rose gold”?
Honestly that would make texting people on Android from an iPhone so much fun.
If they wanted it to have a dark pattern they should make the text slightly blurry or move one pixel back and forth to annoy us and the text tone is the sound of someone throwing up and is un-mutable so you’re forced to either listen to it at full volume or block them (ideal??).
You will be shamed and sentenced to isolation from the rest of the US if caught with a disgusting yellow bubble. Have some self respect, buy an iphone, use imessage
Probably will. They’re only doing it for legal reasons, not out of the kindness of their heart
It feels almost a guarantee they’re gonna do something stupid to ruin it somehow, don’t you worry about that
Apple never fails to disappoint.
We all know the bubbles will still be green
Meh, doesnt bother me, its the iphone users that tend to care
I’ve really never met one that really cared, other than knowing that a green bubble meant you knew that certain things weren’t available in chat
