    I didn’t know Apple was a monopoly…

    They are absolute dicks with iMessage, but they are not a monopoly.

    I am an iPhone user, and I don’t get why people look down on the green bubbles, I have several friends with Android phones, we can all send images and texts to eachother, sure the photos are reduced in size, but it’s fine.

    Just implement the new message standard, Apple and stop being dicks

      They haven’t implemented RCS because it’s a dumpster fire with no redeeming qualities.

      “RCS” only works on Android because Google did a bunch of their own shit outside the spec to make it remotely functional. They’re trying to use legislature to bully their way into controlling the standard by forcing Apple to use it.

        Well, it partialy works, but it just uses google’s servers and there isn’t any alternative apps for it.

        Google Messages is to RCS what WhatsApp is to XMPP.

        And Apple is going to be no different as they deal with Google and plug into their system.
