I would like to edit a text sent to Android phone. Or reply to sent message. I like those features a lot.

I swear there’s a new one of these every day

Me and my girl already use FB Messenger. What good does this bring us?

Most people use WhatsApp anyway on my side of the world 😂. Doesn’t really matter for me 🤣.

They should totally change it to blue.

lol this is the first time I’ve seen Google messages in …years? Maybe a decade?

I'm extremely happy about this. I have friends and some family who have Pixel/Samsung so chatting will be much better. I liked RCS in Google Messages.

Honesty if android had a data based messaging app that was as smooth and seamless and I message, I'd probably make the switch back.

I enjoyed alot of things android but as I got older ease of use and functionality are #1 priority

What happened ?

The end…

still no game pigeon for them tho

Google just ended google messages

Except the green ones aren’t necessarily Android users.

This is awesome even though i typically use Threema or Signal for non apple to apple messages

Genuinely never thought or noticed this before. Now it’s going to bug me every time I see the Messages icon

list of messager i dont use

If there is no licensing fee incurred by Apple, then it’s a null point.

As someone who uses both iphone and Android... Both use green bubbles. The imessage bubbles are green of you are using celular instead of internet to send messages.

I don’t give a damn. You really making this so much big a deal but completely ignoring that billions of people across USA border doesn’t care.

Even if you don’t understand the blue bubble thing, (aka not in the US), arcs is still important as it’s much more secure than SMS, so one time codes from banks and other things should be harder for hackers to get.

Why would we want two apps. That’s ridiculous.

If you’re green you still a lozer lol

With the announcement of RCS for iOS. I would actually appreciate the option to change the colour of my chat bubbles. If something is sms or iMessage, it usually says so above the first message or if it decides to switch because of something like signal strength

No, it just means that Android messages will show a few more things (like read status).

But the green and blue colors will remain because iMessage supports more iOS-specific features.

So now there's gonna be another "Messaging" app in the app store?

Took me 2 minutes to find

”Apple has confirmed to me that blue bubbles will still be used to represent iMessages, while green bubbles will represent RCS messages”

iMessage has always been blue from iPhone to iPhone. Android to iPhone is always green.

I suspect people might switch to these apps now instead of meta’s

What will this do though? I’ve never really paid attention to any of this? I what is the real benefit

Definitely not. iMessage isn’t going anywhere, they’ve said that. And RCS will just be green now.
