Apple should make the RCS chat bubbles a different shade of green so users can differentiate from an SMS thread

I really hope for the sake of everyone that uses messages that Apple will eventually make a different shade of green for RCS...because it's going to be very confusing if it looks exactly the same as SMS
@JC-bd5my 18 күн бұрын
So, really... nothing's going to change on the iPhone end. RCS support is just going to ensure that little things like read-receipts and "typing now" bubbles appear in cross-platform messages (i.e. the green bubble conversations). In other words, it allows Android users to see more of the things that iPhone users are able to see in blue bubble conversations. Though I'm going to guess that Apple is going to continually add more functionality and little extra things for blue bubble conversations that won't be available on green bubble conversations just to stay one step ahead of the competition. I do hope that Apple's adoption of RCS will include end to end encryption of green bubble conversations, though. That would be really great.

Umm I don't know why they telling y'all these lies bcuz we don't have any issues on Android it's apple blocking out videos and pics to make them look bogus so ywll can feel like the iPhone is more superior which it's not our videos and pics to one another is perfectly fine 🤣🤣 ours on our end from Android to Android has no issues it's apple making ywll feel like and think android is trash when it's the best pidd just look how apple is stealing all Samsung features then watering them down to ywll lol ywll tripping

There are several changes on the iPhone end. You no longer get texts from your friends on a group text reminding you that your photos and videos got degraded to unwatchable. For over a decade that’s been the biggest problem when texting between platforms. You will also get read receipts and typing indicators when interacting with Android users. So actually several changes on your end

Apple has already stated that they won’t add end to end encryption unless the GSMA standardizes it. They are refusing to use Google encryption for whatever reason.
@JC-bd5my 7 күн бұрын
@@Deepkick679 I'm not surprised at that, seeing as how Apple doesn't really want to implement RCS into the iPhone system, and it's only doing it most likely due to pressure from the EU. As a company trying to market the superiority of its products, it probably makes no sense to add end-to-end encryption since Apple's own iMessages system is already end-to-end encrypted, and it sees its system as superior to RCS. I would guess that they are refusing to use Google's encryption because they don't trust it to be secure enough.

I’m a member of a group chat my extended family uses for communicating about our annual reunions. All group members are on iPhones. I have one niece who’s on Android and we can’t add her because SMS contacts cannot be added after the group has been created. We’d have to recreate the group from scratch to add her.

How about RCS and privacy?
@AppleInsider 21 күн бұрын
It's going to be the same as SMS. Like I said in the video, the early builds of iOS 18 don't support end to end encryption. Without that, it will be as secure/private as SMS is. If Apple does add E2EE, then it will be closer to iMessage.
@mcpointer756 21 күн бұрын
@@AppleInsider But even if there will be an E2EE, my message will end up on a device controlled by Google's Android. And RCS is deeply integrated into Android, I suppose. So different than Apps like Signal, which is just running on Android... I hope you get my point of concern.

In the world I live in (Vermont) cell service sucks so most of the time the only connection is just plain cellular. No data so I’m not that excited about RCS. I just hope in they’re grand scheme of making things better they keep good old SMS because basically that’s all I have for communications 90 % of the time.

@AppleInsider 21 күн бұрын
This will cover all iOS 18 iPhones as well as most Android phones as it was added to Google Messages a few years ago. There may be stragglers on both sides that won't be compatible but it will be largely available. Plus it needs to start somewhere. In a few years, near 100% of phones will have it.
