That means google is going to open the rcs api up to other devs soon too...right? Right??
It says in the artical they plan to use rcs the standard as currently published by the GSM Association. So I assume they won't be using Google version. Unless I'm misunderstanding it.

I'm not denying that. Later on in the article it goes into further detail about how apple use the GSM RCS standard and "work to improve it". Which means they won't use Google's version. So now we see what Google will do as Apple will not be working with them on the Google version after all their fuss about rcs.
My wife and I have a pixel while the rest of my family useses iPhone so I am quite interested in how this will turn out. If there is a way the two meet on the GSM standard I think it will be great. But will Google be willing to do that?

Name literally any technology standard, and it was probably co-developed by competing companies. It's the rule, not the exception.
Yeah, it will definitely be interesting, if not tumultuous lol.
Samsung Messages is RCS enabled too, fyi.
Only because they have some leverage over Google. It's also reliant on using Jibe. Which is where Google can get info on your social graph.
