Thank god, somebody finally showed how to turn that crap off!
thanks god I live in brazil.. but USA android users don’t deserve to be shamed… stop! Apple users! we are all friends
What is the importance to this RCS? I have both phones and I didn’t see anything important? Just intrusive spying from unknown sources! Or explain it…
Apple needs international pressure just to start putting USB C port on their phone instead of lightning. So I don’t think they’ll have RCS ever because they need to be different.
This is the problem with RCS rhat you need to enable it and approve some bs… iMessage works from OOTB… No bs…. Apple would never bend to that archaic way of doing things.
Just waiting for the EU to force Apple to still adopt RCS.
Just get WhatsApp maybe?
It’s only business guys…why Apple should give to android users one of his most popular services for free? It’s a service that invented Apple, for his devices…Why Apple should open the doors? He wouldn’t have no benefits. Just facts…
On my Android the text input field says “RCS message” when I’m messaging an RCS enabled receiving device. Otherwise, it says “Text message.”
Your video is great!
Please note: iMessage has to be turned on in iPhone settings just like RCS needs to be turned on.
If anyone pushes Apple to adopt RCS, it will be the German government (the leaders of the EU). Mark my words.
I love stamping emote reactions on text bubbles on Android and then the iphone users experience: 😂 at “.….….…………” It’s hilarious.
It seems that I switched to Android at the perfect time.
According to me apple should not accept RCS because imessage is just a perfect platform to interact. google have launched so many apps like google talk hangouts and google duo etc but later on all went down. Apple user are happy in their ecosystem people who are using andriod they are just complaining about imessage. all my friends use imessage and if on person is not using imessage then i transfer stuff him/her only then i use what’s app
I have friends in India and abroad and some of them have iPhones and most of them at large don’t use iMessage. Because most of chats and important group texts are on whatsapp. If RCS kind of feature is brought in video call then Facetime will take a hit. And the ecosystem will be endangered.
Awesome but as a former lover of apple. Ya. But sending high resolution anything via text. Ummm. Hmmm with so many socials and other applications it seems irrelevant
Get the EU on the case, they’re pretty good at persuading Apple to do the right thing.
I don’t think I ever use iMessage or even text message unless it’s to authenticate a login. Otherwise everyone I know has been using WhatsApp for yeeaaars. Recently we switched to telegram.
I’d love it but as weird as it sounds I can’t deal with those emojis
I just can’t stand Android. Having an iPhone and being able to text with other iPhones and getting a fantastic experience is something I like. Texting anyone with an Android is nauseating at best. The Apple ecosystem is so much better as well plus being able to FaceTime is just better.
OMG 6:58 blah blah blah blah blah all of this work you have to do to simulate an iPhone experience. JUST GET A DAMN iPHONE!
EU. You need to see this
It’s funny how till this day they blame android for this problem when it’s apple and its right there clear as day and noting is being done bout it..Apple and iphones are so over rated.. I will stick with Samsung and Android which are way better !! Hahaha i wish a iphone user would try and BULLY my daughter over that stupidity right there…trust me that would be the 1st amd last time that will ever happen again 😊😂
I am using google messages app and whenever I create a group text, and a few minutes later I need to add someone else to it, it creates another group instead of going to the original group. How can I fix this? My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Flip 4. OMG this so frustrating to me.…Help! Help! Help!
I’ll never own iPhone. RCS it is.
Here on the announcement that Apple is finally supporting RCS
“never”
Update on 1:33 in 2023: More than 1 billion active monthly users now use RCS. Apple has announced that they will support RCS on the iPhone in late 2024.
Well?
As of today, we can oficially say that this video is now “out of date.”
So droid is late to the party for once; iMessage is superior.
This aged well
I feel genetically superior to a android user simply by using iMessage. Thanks Apple.
News Flash: Apple announces RCS support targeting 2024.
Imagine overpaying a zillion dollars for some hipster iPhone only to gloat with an empty bank account on how others show “green bubbles.” Look, if you’re a grown adult and are using texting for anything more than making plans to meet IRL, you need your head checked.
Guess you guys were wrong! Shows that your opinion is just an opinion! 😂😂😂
In my country WhatsApp is the go to messenger…We don’t care about RCS or iMessage at all 😂😂
And a year later …
Might need an update video on why Apple has chosen to support it in 2024 😆
Habibi use WhatsApp like most normal people on the planet.
