    Meh, RCS is too little, too late, and archaic in design.

    We moved away from hardware-based network identifiers in the 1980’s, and RCS requires a unique hardware ID. It’s fucking backwards.

    I will never use the garbage that is RCS - it’s already dead, just needs to be buried.

      You say that until you cant even text your family or friends because every messaging application requires RCS. In the US, almost everyone is using RCS or we are using Windows with Microsoft Teams because of work. We dont use WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc, unless its about traveling out of the country. Apple and Google really want SMS and MMS to kick the bucket but if GOS can pull this through, Im 100% for it.

        The US doesn’t matter.

        Besides, almost everyone in the US has WhatsApp for their Latino friends. And if they manage not to have Latino friends, they’re almost in certainly a racist pos

          What the hell does having Latino friends have anything to do with what type of messaging services they use? Your completely missing the point or your just trying to start drama.
