Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps... like Apple’s own iMessage.

I've lost track of all the messaging apps they had:

  • Hangouts
  • Chat
  • Gmail Chat
  • Google+
  • Voice

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

    Hangouts was so close to perfect before they blew it all up.

    Now I'm using a mix of Chat and Voice and it's terrible for everyone. Voice doesn't even support RCS from what I can tell, and all my messages with iPhone users are full of reactions. It's so annoying. I've had the same Google Voice number for over a decade, why is this so frustrating?
