@@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.
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.
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?
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 😀)
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!!
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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 😮
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
@@hazza_007Vi and Airtel are already supporting RCS on jibe so I don't see an issue why it won't work on iOS. Jio has its own version of RCS which only works between Jio to Jio. Not sure why jio is not supporting RCS on universal profile.
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.
Is RCS messaging free? Means is there any carrier charges apply like SMS and MMS? It does require cellular data and WIFI but is it free (like iMessages, signal etc)?
Do you think stickers will work with RCS between iOS and Android? I love using stickers on my iPhone but I’m worried I’ll be unable to use stickers when talking to someone with androjd
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
I doubt it. I could be wrong but I believe RCS still uses cellular data to actually push the message while iMessage connects to the Internet. iMessage is essentially a 3rd party app (like Whatsapp or telegram) but it obviously remains exclusive to iPhones. My best guess is that RCS is not end to end encrypted
@@InteristaS5 Yea so this is why RCS won't fly if it is not end to end. The European union should have pushed harder for it to be a part of the blue bubble conversation. Apple is simply playing along and still touting end to end encryption with iMessage.
If you find green bubbles confusing just disable MMS messaging and you won’t pay any additional fee for services you didn’t want. Nobody needs rainbow bubbles for RCS if everybody knows how to manage settings.
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. 🙄
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
It’s basically a standard of messaging that allows for more things to be done like reactions, full resolution images and videos, works off of WiFi etc.
It’s just enhanced version of SMS to be more like iMessage so you can see or reading your message when they are responding. You can send better video files photos, etc. pretty much just like iMessage messenger etc. for android just SMS is old standard. RCS is a new standard. Think of SMS a.k.a. text messaging as analog and RCS and iMessage is Digital.
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.
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
Honestly it is vert laughable that apple still keeps the green bubble 🤣🤣🤣like who does it affect,iphone users because the android user on the other hand doesn't see the green bubbles so who is apple tormenting?
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.
