They want iPhone users to have want they want and need when switching to Android. I think it's not a bad idea. Personally, I find MMS to be horrible. Not because of lack of features but because it is different for everybody in one group chat. The messages become out of order, things don't send but say they do, etc. iMessage isn't the best solution, but if I'm being kicked out of group chats because I'm that one person making it MMS, then I'm all for iMessage on Android.
I am wondering if there is any other alternative to SMS and MMS that works on all mobile & desktop platforms. Hmmm, let me think... Hmm.... Probably not. ๐
No. Just no. Apple does not get to unilaterally make new protocols for the world.
I don't want them to either but we both know rcs will not be supported on Apple. At least not easily.
