On the other hand, I don't think I know anyone that uses SMS regularly, so maybe it just wasn't a priority? Pretty much the only SMS messages I get are automated. It's more common to see people using either Messenger, WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram (or iMessage in the USA but that's mostly an outlier compared to the rest of the world). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 13 points 21 hours ago (2 children) From one linked thread: RCS isn't an open platform in practice. It isn't even as open as SMS/MMS. It heavily depends on proprietary Google and carrier infrastructure in practice. We can start by replicating Google's approach and then we can work on only using carrier services for carriers where it's actually supported. So yeah, probably why it took so long permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dan@upvote.au 2 points 14 hours ago It heavily depends on proprietary Google and carrier infrastructure in practice. This is the same as practically every carrier feature though. Carriers are a pain to deal with and all their infra is proprietary, so usually only the big companies like Google and Apple have the motivation to integrate with them and build out new services. permalink fedilink source parent [–] doc@fedia.io 10 points 21 hours ago To be clear, it's not done yet.
