It’s all about the bubbles.

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    RCS dates to 2008 and Appul didn’t support it. Now we know that Appul is stuck in 2007 or earlier.

    Edit: it seems RCS is another centralized hellscape

      Centralized or not, it’s a massive improvement over basic SMS/MMS.

      Edit: at least the concept is. Implementation aside, it’s crazy that there isn’t a cross-platform texting option that has more modern capabilities than what we’ve been using for the past couple decades.

        I’m not sure anyone uses SMS to chat anyway.

        *Cough*, *cough*. Man, it’s freezing outside.
