Of all the things to get upset over, the color of a chat bubble isn't one of them.

In a world where teenagers get made fun of for the color of their chat bubbles, it can be important for users.
Only they'll then get bullied for their "fake iphones" instead. Kids suck.

Like the benefits of RCS to sms, there are advantages of using iMessage vs sms

Google can use rcs and does. Apple is purposefully being childish about it to make iMessage seem better.

The point is that you made it sound like there are 0 advantages than just bubble color. There are advantages to using iMessage on Android

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Ofc they both have massive advantages to SMS, they were both built in the 21st century. SMS is over 30 years old at this point.

RCS vs iMessage however, RCS is a standard put out by GSMA, and iMessage is closed completely.
