@@dominic.j Google has been developing it for eons and it's been a thing on phone since like 2010s. They just started REALLY pushing it for the last 4 years
@@Axyierl This not true at all. The GSMA developed RCS in 2008. In 2015 Google bought Jibe mobile to start working on RCS for android. In 2019 Google released messages with RCS support. Google hasn't been developing it for "eons" and it's most certainly not their protocol. Y'all just make things up.
what about if you're on an iPhone and then you port your number to android, but you were added to a group while you had the iPhone and now your number is on android, does it allow you to message the group still and receive messages, so you're still in the group and can send and receive as RCS?
Apple wants to support RCS as quietly as possible so that people would keep buying iphones for messaging. Apple is making it confusing on purpose as green means SMS/MMS and also RCS, they didn't even change the RCS bubble colour!!
1. Google Android device checks if the other (terminating) party is capable of RCS Messaging feature or not, before the originator sends the message as per design, whereas Apple being new to RCS Messaging needs to develop this feature. 2. The three dots (...) is called IsTyping indicator which tells that the other party is typing/composing a message. (In RCS, it is called IsComposing indicator) 3. The reason why Apple device loses the RCS Messaging and goes back to SMS (actually, it is not the legacy SMS over SS7 protocol but it is SMS over IP protocol or SMSoIP) is that there is a timeout of 180 Seconds (configurable by the operator) beyond which the dedicated Chat (MSRP) channel is deleted. 4. In Android device, if you press on message, it should give you when the message was delivered and displayed. (Display is called as Read by Marketing people. In RCS standards, it is called display notification, as we dont know whether the party has read the message or not ; understood or not, which is not the business of communication service provider 😀)
I would love Apple to make RCS a different color bubble. Doesn’t need to be iMessage blue bubble… even a different shade of green to make it clear your in RCS.
The videos are still choppy. It'll make you trim a video. Honestly, I may have to go back to an iPhone because even RCS-RCS, it's still grainy and lower resolution.
The biggest complaint hasn't been bubble color, it's been apple making photos/videos sent from Android phones look like they were taken with a potato. I'm gonna stay on Samsung always and i refuse to buy an iPhone
@@gregryglinski9820yep, it sucks. MMS is such old technology. i think it was created in like 2002 and apple has been forcing androids to use it when trying to send videos between each other. a nice tactic to get people to get tired of it and just switch to iPhone. that's why I'm so excited for RCS support because I prefer Android over iPhone. the solution I've been using is setting up a Blue bubbles server on my Mac to be able to use iMessage on my android.
4 years is not that long, that's how it took google to add RCS to Android after they bought Jibe Mobile. Also, there is no feature that RCS has that iMessage hasn't had since 2011. RCS is strictly about improving communication between Android and Apple devices, it adds nothing to Apple device to Apple device communication.
@@dominic.j well people on the Android side haven been using apps like WhatsApp to communicate. If you think about it, iMessage is just like WhatsApp but developed by Apple themselves. RCS is just a replacement for SMS which was getting old and kind of useless for modern use.
What I’d like to know more than the responding features and status is encryption. Will we finally have private encrypted messages for SMS & MMS across platform?
What does it look like when you try to react to an RCS with any emoji outside of the hard-coded reactions that come with RCS? Like reacting with a flag emoji to an RCS, does it show up like a normal reaction or does it say “Reacted with [flag emoji]” like it used to pre-iOS 18?
Google programmed iPhone reactions to be translated so those outside of the usual tap backs may lead to issues until Google addresses these changes. Apple is maliciously complying which is why they also added genmojis to make it an impossible task for Google to fix
I would people complaining about RCS not working on their phone apparently didn’t bother with. It literally said it only works in the United States right now and only our Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T.
Does RCS still work on the iPhone if you disable Wi-Fi calling (if already enabled), put phone into airplane mode, and then turn wifi back on and connect. Can RCS messages still be sent in this scenario?
I like how this is not marketed enough. If this works as intended then most people won’t need to rely much on third party apps for chatting. Being an ex android user, RCS was a huge convenience for me. Now I am a sole iPhone user in my family and I have to constantly rely on Messenger and WhatsApp to communicate. The only thing missing now is video calls across iOS and Android devices using their native dedicated apps. And sorry to the tech bros, but I am tired of buggy a*s chat applications that only serve Ads
Some are sent as rcs and others sent as sms I’m on 18.6 public beta not sure what’s going but what I’ve tried at home on my sons phone one pixel 8 other Motorola g54 both messages come up as rcs but when message a friend which I do know he as a Samsung device it comes up with sms just plain odd 😮
maybe your samsung friend doesn`t have rcs enabled. it is not enabled by default on android as far as i know. i have lots of samsung friends that don t have the rcs enabled
One big quirk is that since apple announced any picture or any emoji as a reaction to a message, it completely breaks RCS. Now we have to wait on google to integrate those features as micro MMS pictures
I have GOOGLE PIXEL 8 PRO and also IPHONE 14 PRO MAX. RCS is so glitchy on Android. I don’t expect it to be any better on APPLE. WhatsApp is the way to go
Yeah, RCS has disconnects but it's mostly more a thing on older phones. RCS has been stable on my Pixel 8 except for the last messages Beta that broke it for me until I went back to stable
RCS on android use google messages app hence everything is the same for all android phones out there. Although I don't understand why using bigger DPI for android phones? It makes the phone looks trash in UI lol. Should've used the default DPI to show the correct UI of the app on android.
I checked my German carriers website to see how much sending an MMS would cost. 39 cents to German phone numbers, 69 cents to non-German numbers. 69 cents. For every message. Even with the iPhone adopting RCS, it's still gonna be irrelevant for the majority of the world. But hey, one country has the blue-bubble-green-bubble-debate now sorted. Kinda.
@@anders95 What issue? That the US is the only country for which RCS is relevant? Yes, the costs of MMS/SMS in other countries is exactly the reason why that is. That Apple never implemented RCS sooner? No, that has nothing to do with it.
No it’s not as RCS sends over data and therefore the German carriers will not be charging to send RCS messages to anyone anywhere in the world as they will not be able to.
Sucks other countries still charge per message. I think the us has been unlimited texts and calls for years now. Iv had unlimited texting since 2007 and believe the unlimited option was made standard around 2011
New paragraph for standard text messaging for android phone makes it more like iMessage or WhatsApp it also enhances standard green bubble on iPhone be more like iMessage
IDK why you enlarged the fonts on Android but not on iOS Is this intentional? (So the Android User interface looks weird) IYKYK... Update: I just saw that's your Dad's Phone... Now I get it :)
Bruh, just because his font is bigger. You think he’s conspiring against android? I seen your edit, but people are gonna like different devices. I’m an iPhone user but it didn’t look at the font size and think it’s a bad phone.
@GOD_IS_GOOD337 That's not the question I'm asking. I want to know if it's already enabled when you update to iOS 18 or if users will need to go into their settings and turn RCS on
When I updated it for the Beta 4, it was automatically on but if it isn’t for you just go into settings > messaging and scroll down until you see the RCS tab then you can turn it off or on
🐬 Gif with a hard G because it stands for Graphical so it gets pronounced like graphical. If it stood for something like giraffe, then I'd pronounce it like the peanut butter, but Jiff is already taken.
Apple should make RCS messages a different color to differentiate them from SMS messages. This seems like it could create a lot of confusion. I get why Apple wants to keep the green bubbles from a business standpoint but this isn’t good for users.
Just Apple being childish using the puke green color. In reality, the user should be able to select the color of chats on whatever platform they are on.
It should be on by default. They might as well not even have it if you have to dig into the settings to turn it on. No normal person is gonna know to turn it on. 🙄
