What about when the iMessage or RCS servers are unreachable? Edit 2: and it’s planning to file an appeal against the government’s regulation of its App Store Does this mean they may not actually roll this feature out, or may yank it if they win their appeal? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] step6672@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago Well, that’s kind of concerning for iMessage users.
