      No, but that doesn’t make it good.

      The whole world except a minority moved away from SMS a long time ago.

        That’s great that the rest of the world moved on. That doesn’t mean that those of us in locations that haven’t moved on have to use the most inferior version of messaging.

          The only people who didn’t move on are Americans.

          Nobody else uses SMS for anything else than service messages. Nobody cares about “bubble Color” in Europe, Asia or Africa

          I didn’t say that, but it might explain why Apple didn’t say much. I’m just keeping the discussion to the thread.

        They’ve moved on to specific platforms, not open standards. Ultimately, that’s not a good thing. Like when Twitter effectively replaced RSS for a lot of use cases.

          Might be a 10thDentist take, but I could be surprised.

          It’s reliable in specific use cases, I’ll give it that.

            Great point. I’m sure they’re decrypting my rcs messages somehow and selling that data. And I’m sure your response here has nothing to do with riding apple wang

              there were other comments here mentioning that rcs has issues with encryption, and I don’t think handing over our private communication to isps is a step forward. It is literally a decade long step back.

                You’ll still have Instagram! Don’t think of it as handing over your private communication to your phone carrier, think of it as “also having that choice”. It ps a step forward to have more choices.

                I’m somewhat hopeful, since mobile carriers are somewhat regulated. They can be forced to care. Meanwhile, something like Instagram is a private company with noe oversight, who can choose to do almost anything they think will bring in more money

                I trust my data with my ISP farrrrrr more than I do meta, and also I’m very unconvinced my ISP has access to anything at all here.
