    RCS won’t change the bubble colour though?

    RCS is just a newer standard isn’t it? Replacing sms? But iMessage isn’t sms or RCS.

    It’s like on signal, prior to them fucking it, when someone sent an sms it would come in as normal and a signal message would be encrypted.

      Anyone who thinks this is about the color of the bubble is either misinformed, or 14 and a bully.

      No one sane actually cares about the color. It could be pink, purple, green, red, blue, whatever, and people would still have the exact same problem, being that RCS is not supported, and SMS/MMS is shit in comparison.

      The RCS that is being pushed out is one controlled by Google.

      They’ve been very open that the intent of this is to sell ad space via spam messages you wouldn’t be able to block.

        Definitely my main issue with “RCS” it’s all controlled by Google.

          Apple has been very specific that they won’t be using Google’s version of RCS, they’ll be implementing the spec and then leaving it up to your carrier.

          In the US most carriers do use Google’s implementation but your carrier can already send your unblockable SMS messages.
