Stop trying to get people to use your app by withholding features from third party apps. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] NeonWoofGenesis@l.henlo.fi 42 points 3 years ago (2 children) Yeah I thought RCS was going to be this platform-agnostic service Γ la SMS. I'm trying out matrix with my close family and it's working great. Bonus points it doesn't require a phone number or even a phone at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] AnotherPerson@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago (1 child) Last time I tried to introducing my family to an alternate messaging that wasn't the default app on their phone I started getting messages in both places with no rhyme or reason to why they would use one over the other. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] CaptainAniki@lemmy.flight-crew.org 10 points 3 years ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Paradox@lemdro.id 10 points 3 years ago Don't forget to take your hemorrhoid cream Bobby xoxo mom permalink fedilink source parent [β] AnotherPerson@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Hmm...

They announced they will be moving to Jibe from Google, but no time line is available AFAIK. Until then we are stuck with a broken RCS implementation. permalink fedilink source parent [β] GrimChaos@lemm.ee 9 points 3 years ago (1 child) Thanks you! I use Textra, it's so much better than the stock app but Google never opened up their API. I believe for Google said they were going to back in like 2018 or something (if I'm not mistaken, which I could be) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Sarcastik@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Textra was the best before rcs was launched. Id love to see them get their hands on an API for it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] GrimChaos@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago I tried switching to the Google app for a month or two. I ended up back at Textra. Turns out I care more about the user experience than rcs. Still, it would be nice to have rcs but I can live without it. But I agree, I'd love to see them get their hands on the API. permalink fedilink source parent
