Apple gets the message, RCS coming to iPhone in 2024 with same Universal Profile as Android
Apple announced (via 9to5Mac) today that it's adding RCS support to the iPhone in a great boost to Android-iOS messaging...
It's happening!!!

I have faith in Apple, it'll be difficult but they'll find a way to do this that still maintains all the toxicity towards green bubbles that they've worked so hard to cultivate.
They are literally keeping the green bubbles for RCS users lmao
Right, but the features will be mostly on-par with iMessage. The only thing you'd be missing out on are chat effects and the 3D avatar things. The stigma will stay for a little bit, but probably die out over time because the stigma developed in the first place not due to the color of the bubble, but because the color of the bubble meant worse features.
Exactly, some of my iPhone-using friends don't care about the color itself, just that sending a video via MMS results in a 240p mess. Being able to properly RCS videos, and multiple photos, will alleviate all actual concerns. They don't care about message reactions, and I don't know a single person who uses the avatar things (I'm in my early 30s in NY)
RCS supports message reactions, just not the crazy iMessage effects.
Yep
Having faith in Apple is new level of stupid we don't have a word for yet.
