With RCS, they could do what Apple will - be interoperable while providing extras with own platform (iMessage). Admittedly, that doesn't sound like enough reason to reimplement SMS and RCS alone would still be kind of inconvenient. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Pazuzu@midwest.social 1 point 2 years ago they could go the apple route and just make sms messages an ugly color permalink fedilink source parent [β] Carighan@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Why not have separate apps so users can opt to install one or the other? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Auli@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Why do you use two apps for SMS or iMessage now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Carighan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I don't understand. I don't do that. But I have Whatsapp, telegram, signal and discord installed, and those are all quite separate apps. The point being, why would I want my Whatsapp install to come integrated with a whole discord client? I can already just install both, which is much easier and keeps things separate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] butter@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago The point is getting adoption.
