Isn’t it… the opposite of a blow to Apple? If there interoperability, why would I ever use anything than my phone’s default messaging app? (Especially if E2E encryption is a requirement, which it looks like it is)
This is just regulatory capture cementing the OS owners above app developers.
- ryukafalz 4y agoIt means that even if you still use the default iOS messaging app, your contacts can use other messaging apps, rather than being locked into iMessage and therefore the Apple ecosystem. It breaks down some of the barriers to competition for new mobile OSes and messaging apps. This is a good thing.
