It’s better than SMS and is the new industry standard.
Also, iMessage kind of sucks too. There are many better messaging apps.
The problem is that many people in the US never even try those. They just see that Androids have green bubbles and cause problems due to SMS.
- simoncion 4mo agoHello! I'm a USian, so my telecom situation might be really weird when compared to the rest of the world, IDK. > It’s better than SMS... If it guarantees timely and in-order delivery, then yes, it's better than SMS. If it doesn't, no matter what else it does it's just as bad. > ...and is the new industry standard. Odd. The only RCS messages I receive are spam. Literally zero legitimate entities send me RCS messages. Plus, I heard that Google's shipping this "Feed us more metadata about who you're calling and when!" service that's billed as a "Ensure the caller calling you is actually on an Android(TM) or iPhone(TM) phone!" "safety" feature. No thanks.
- brokencode 4mo agoDon’t use it if you don’t want. I’m not some kind of RCS salesman. I usually use third party apps myself. That doesn’t mean it’s not an upgrade versus SMS.
- simoncion 3mo agoYou: I’m not some kind of RCS salesman. also you: It’s better than SMS and is the new industry standard.
- brokencode 3mo agoYeah, there’s really nothing controversial about that. RCS is the improved replacement for SMS. That doesn’t mean I care if you use it.
- trumpdong 3mo agoThe Google/Apple lock-in is pretty controversial.
