Comment on Nothing Phone builds a blue bubble iMessage bridge while Google and Apple fight over RCS
nezbyte@lemmy.world 10 months agoGoogle’s RCS service is unique in that it is not telecom based. I would advise looking at the RCS Wikipedia article here.

Can you please point to me where it states Googles “version” of RCS can’t also interface with telecom based RCS?
Because it seems from my reading the Google just has some enhanced features on top of RCS (like e2e encryption) when both sides are through Google, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work with telecoms as well, unlike Apples walled garden of iMessage which doesn’t work with anything else lol.

Google RCS was designed to be interoperable. Apple iMessage was not.

And…? I don’t get your point, that’s what I’m arguing, Apple specifically made iMessage unable to interact with anything else intentionally, they very well could have figured out a way to bring it to other platforms but specifically chose not to.

No worries, I’m just sharing information and answering questions. Not trying to argue a point.
Reasons why Apple iMessage does not support RCS has way too much speculation around it from what I’ve briefly read so I prefer not to comment.
