RCS (Rich Communication Services) will bring a number of iMessage-style features to texts between Android and iPhone users. This includes things such as read receipts, typing indicators, and higher-quality images and videos.
The one thing that won't be changing, however, is the color of the messaging bubbles.

Short primer.
RCS is something that Apple initial help fund the development of. As is usual, when a bunch of companies get to gather to create a protocol it gets bogged down my too many cooks in the kitchen. This was the case with USB 3 or USB C or whatever and why Apple developed lightning cables. It is shittier than iMessage and currently encryption only works by sending everything through Google servers lmao. It basically does everything iMessage does that normies need but came out much later and is bulkier and the roll out sucks because it is based on carrier and Google support and there's a laundry list that I don't care to type up and if you're still reading this what the frick is wrong with you.
Q & A
Why is bubble color important?
It helps us in the dating world know who is capable of making smart purchases as well as an idea on how much they will be able to contribute in the relationship. I don't mind paying for dinner but if she expects for me to provide her gum after she blows me sorry girl

It's mostly a black and black adjacent mindset. That's why hoodlings love apple. Having an apple phone is good rich stuff. Actual people with money simply don't care.

Yeah, this is not even westoid idiocy, but specifically amerifat lunacy; in the entire rest of the world nobody uses default messaging apps anyways and whatsapp/signal/messenger etc. are the same regardless of what device you access them on, plus have more features than imessage too.
