This has been a huge week for iMessage—in a very strange way; has this latest news finally given Apple’s iPhone users a reason to quit the green-bubbles/blue-bubbles and head elsewhere...Apple’s blue/green-bubbled messaging platform is back in the spotlight this week, with two separate news stories, both of which materially impact iMessage while totally ignoring it. Neat trick.
Don’t stop using iMessage, but do stop sending SMS texts from iMessage. Which means stop using iMessage outside Apple’s walled garden. And probably don’t use RCS either when it comes, not unless and until it finds a way to deliver cross-platform end-to-end encryption with Google. It’s a backward step from full encryption, as WhatsApp’s warning should have made abundantly clear.
But Google is on a roll to make Messages more like iMessage—which no easy feat. It has just “stolen” one of Apple’s key iMessage features, as reported by. “Google’s been pretty active in updating the Google Messages app so that it functions and feels more like iMessage. In fact, it just ripped one of the best iMessage features—and there’s nothing wrong with that.
