Sackbut comments on its even more outdated

There's no way that we can have a mainstream alternative to imessage if we keep declaring a new app or protocol the new best one every two years.

iMessage can't be "the mainstream" app by locking out most of the world tho. Plus it is definitely the ugliest thing Apple has ever made in its lifetime that I know of.

All Google needs to do is make a public RCS API. Then we will have all the important features iMessage has on Android via regular texting. I have no fucking clue why they are making RCS exclusive to their messaging app.

I think have settled into what they know.

I think that iMessage is only prevelant in North America. Here in Europe (Portugal, at least), everyone uses Whatsapp.

Hopefully the new MLS for app interoperability will ease the adoption of any newer app
