    Yeah once the bubbles turn green I know I am limited to MMS, so texting goes from stickers, effects, videos and image galleries to the quality of texting on a Motorola RAZR. Half of the joke about the color of the bubbles is that the green bubble people are either ignorant of or disregard the improvements in texting for the last decade. RCS I haven’t used extensively, but it has mostly felt like MMS without mime and size restrictions with the added bonus of allowing Google to access the messages.

      i mean, i can do all that via RCS.

      So you are saying “apple has crippled my texting, but i blame anyone other than apple”. Half of the joke about the color of the bubbles is that the blue bubble people are either ignorant of or disregard the improvements in texting for the last decade.

      This isn’t a limitation on android devices, this is a limitation imposed by apple because they want the experience to be bad.

        It was a limitation for Android for a decade after iMessage came out because they spent the whole time half assing RCS. It’s only been like two years tops that I reliably receive RCS messages from Android to Android.

      Nah just everyone else is on Telegram/signal/WhatsApp. Only iPhone users are on the stock messaging app that doesn’t work with any other brands.
