People just say that's hard to enable the chat fixture🤦🏻♂️
My country ( Sweden ) is the most iPhone dominated country on earth. Everyone use iPhone and iMessage.
The strategy that Google is using may not have made sense to everyone initially but the strategy was to get all carriers to adopt RCS which is now virtually complete. Now the tactic is to keep creating messaging parity with iMessage. I can see that at some point the communications governing bodies decide to do away with SMS and go completely RCS. Apple will receive a timeline to comply and if Apple allows it to get to this point people will start leaving because they can get the same functionality on Android phones. And people don't like poor sports like Apple. I know a lot of iPhone users that are looking at the Pixel 7 now looking to switch. Apple's strategy could prove very damaging. This is chess not checkers. ♟️♟️
Google should have NEVER let apple use google maps. eat that apple
They hope by doing so Android users will switch.
But they forget we have whatsapp
Honestly the best solution now and to force Apple to do anything. It's to kill SMS
2:30 – 3:01 Which phones have RCS enabled by default? In other words, which phones have RCS enabled by default without requiring you to do anything extra to enable it?
when half japanese -German says do something you better do it coz 🤩🤩🤩🤩
iMessage sucks, just use WhatsApp and that's it
Everyone at my work environment has an iPhone, and I'm usually the only person that causes the group chat bubble to be "green", and I would always get the "laughed at an image" text when someone reacts to an image in the group chat from an iPhone. My coworkers know that I don't get the emoji react, and they make jokes about it sometimes (not in a mean way). Now, I can't wait to get back at all of them with the new update that lets me see the emoji reaction and REACT BACK, they will get the "laughed at an image" text from me all the freaking time! Can't wait to have it on my Pixel 6 Pro! Lol
Thank God apple are not forcing that google garbage RCS onto its users. The reason I use Apple is to stay away from that virus infested rubbish google vomit onto android.
If someone judges you based on a color of a text bubble, then they are delusional. iPhone users call me a poor android user even though my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 was over $1000. It’s stupid… I don’t get how apple managed to weaponize the iPhone community with just a text color bubble
i rarely text people, I mostly use FB messager to message my friends and group chat.
IPhone users in US must be super lazy.
Yeah until this great service is adopted a crossed all platforms – the Telegram app will remain the Gold standard.
Google blaming apple for google incompetence if apple doesn’t want to support rcs move on ppl who have Android have it on by default so ppl can just use the thing ppl don’t wanna have to go through all that just to send text
apple is so dumb.. ughh. i want to be able to voice message girls with iphone's without it going into crappy quality mode when it's converted into sms
Mine says enter message lol
I have never heard of any android user being mocked because of the green bubble.
Apple users don’t care if the bubble is blue or green. If you are on iOS it’s blue if not it’s green all iOS users care about is getting the message across. Google has made this a big thing because RCS doesn’t work as iMessage does in iOS. Google needs to perfect RCS it’s not apple’s fault Google is behind.
Nobody uses imessage unless they work for Apple everyone else uses WhatsApp or Signal /Telegram.
So Google is late to the party, and they want apple to join the party they’ve been doing for over a decade now?
Why does google disable this by default? No make sense
Ngl it seems like apple made a great messaging platform and then google decided to copy it and proceed to throw a fit because apple won’t adopt it. I mean apple didn’t demand everyone else to adopt their messaging system smh. Also google isn’t doing themselves any favors by having rcs turned off by default.
Lmao boo hoo. Get an iPhone and stop whining. Why should apple adopt a google made platform. RCS is a google standard, not an industry standard. Supporting RCS would void the reason iMessage is so great. Google should adopt Apples technology if they want to compete with Apple. Simple.
Ok so what I’m taking away from this is RCS is trash, like everything else, your giving up so much protection for so little convenience! I’m no apple defender but I will gladly tell google to eff off
your not automatically enrolled, you have to sign in
That dress is hideous
Just adopt RCS, but keep the colour ahahahha, green for non ios.
So because android was way behind the curve apple should be penalized for innovating?
Just get an iPhone!
Apple won't support RCS cuz they like to imprison their users
This problem only exists in the US 🤣🗿
all of a sudden RCS is not working today on my phone. apple had no reason to adopt this junk.
My concern is privacy
