Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year - feddit.ch

Cool to see happen. My mom and my brother in law use Android and I haven’t been able to convince either to just use Signal to message me. This will prove to be a better bridge.

It’s odd watching this from Europe, where cross platform third party messaging platforms are ubiquitous. Nobody seems to care about blue or green bubbles because they are all using WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger or one of the many others.

Reminds of the days of old instant messaging, where different regions, or social groups even, would favour MSN Messenger, Yahoo, ICQ, AOL Messenger etc.

WhatsApp, telegram really covers 99% of my contacts, private or work. My parents use sms (60)

Signal is not very wide spread, mostly used for texts you want to protect for whatever reason.

I would consider it very odd if somebody writes on iMessage
