By now, you know the deal. When an Android user joins a group chat made up of iOS users, all of the great features of iMessage go away. There is no more end-to-end encryption, no more high-quality images, typing indicators disappear, read receipts are no more, support for larger messages goes away, and text is found in a green bubble instead of a blue bubble. Just last monthstill uses outdated SMS/MMS texting when a message is sent to an Android user.
Guess what happens when an iOS user joins a chat that was previously made up of just RCS users. There is no more end-to-end encryption, no more high-quality images, typing indicators disappear, read receipts are no more, support for larger messages goes away, and text is found in a green bubble instead of a blue bubble. Sound familiar?
Nonetheless, Apple has no plans to support RCS because iMessage is considered a selling point for the iPhone even though with RCS, Android users can get the same features. Now, Samsung has joined the fray by releasing a new 20-second ad. The spot is titled"Green bubbles and blue bubbles want to be together. Help Apple #GetTheMessage."
It shows a text conversation between green text bubbles and blue text bubbles. Romeo replies to Juliet,"I hate that it has to be like this...can you just talk to your parents?" To which Juliet replies,"I tried but they want to keep us apart. I just don't understand." This draws the following response from Romeo,"What did green ever do to them? We're bubbles too." Juliet says,"And literally everyone wants us to be together. Ugh.
. Once designated a gatekeeper by the EU, the DMA would force Apple to support all competitive messaging platforms on the iPhone in the market. For now, the status quo favors Apple possibly because most Android users don't understand that they can have the same capabilities as iMessage by employing RCS and messaging other RCS users.A discussion is a place, where people can voice their opinion, no matter if it is positive, neutral or negative.
