Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple (www.theverge.com)

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 do, but most people don't

You gotta convince people to switch to Signal. That's what I've been doing for a long time, and it works!

I lost half the people I'd gotten on signal when they removed sms. People liked it well enough when they could do all their messaging from one app on Android.

Why is it so hard for Americans to use multiple chat apps? Here in Europe, most people (especially those with friends/family in a different European country, because we use different apps in every country) have an entire folder full of chat apps on their phone. Sure, that's not great, but pretty much everyone accepts it when I "force" them to use Signal.
