    Samsung and Google are just now getting around to supporting it

    Hey now, I’ve been rocking RCS for three years. The only reason it took so long to begin with is because Google was trying to get service providers to implement it themselves. Google finally said fuck it and started doing it themselves iMessage style and then providers started playing along.

        RCS wasn’t originally supposed to run on data, it only does now because carriers didn’t want to support it natively.

  Centralized or not, it’s a massive improvement over basic SMS/MMS

    I’m not sure anyone uses SMS to chat anyway.

    it’s crazy that there isn’t a cross-platform texting option that has more modern capabilities than what we’ve been using for the past couple decades.

    *Cough*, *cough*. Man, it’s freezing outside.
