[+] butter@midwest.social -6 points 2 years ago (2 children) Google got jealous of iMessage and remade iMessage, but Android with the promise of making it more open. They haven't followed through on 'more open' until just now. Rcs officially works on 2 apps. iMessage still has just 1. But hopefully Rcs will actually become open in the future. Allowing anyone to make an Rcs app, like they can with SMS permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] XbSuper@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) That doesn't answer my question at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PrimePathPioneer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's a protocol that implements modern text messaging features for sms, similar to imessage on ios.
