APPLE JUST ANNOUNCED SUPPORT FOR RCS

comments

racist communist society?

uh, no

oh my god that is so cool

what is it

a better messaging standard, so if you’re texting over RCS you can use stuff like reactions, typing indicators, and read receipts and send larger files. Before this you had to use SMS and that’s from like the 1990s

i hated sending messages to my mom and receiving “Loved an image”

it’s a big thing because apple didn't want to do it for years and randomly switched yesterday

The like count on the post dropped by 4 or 5 and the site was down momentarily. Spam attack?

i didnt notice anything

it was only down for a second

yeah i noticed that too. pretty weird...

I’m shocked frankly, I have to assume they are doing this since the EU has opened an investigation into iMessage that could result in the EU making Apple open up the iMessage service to interpolate with other devices like Android.

Should go without saying this is great regardless of why.

also, they probably did it partially as a “frick you” to Nothing

yeah that too, Nothing’s announcement is actually pretty meh considering all they did was partner with an app that already offers this service which allowed Nothing to slap their name on it lmao

link please link please link please

it’s real

Massive win.

I was literally just going to post this

absolutely wild innovation apple just discovered in a jungle

would be cool if they could bring imessage games to android

probably not happening sadly
