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

I read that most of the RCS stuff on Android is proprietary shit from google, so most likely will not be available on iOS. Basically a doa feature.

Anybody who cares about the bubble color needs to unironically rope.
I turned RCS off the second Google introduced it. The other person doesn't need to know that I'm ignoring their message or spending a really long time trying to figure out how to respond

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.

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.

L for apple and frick them they deserve it, but frick read receipts. such a shit feature. i HATE c*nts who think they deserve my full attention the second they want it and read receipts stoke their delusional belief that theyre entitled to it.

One of my clients has read receipts turned on in Outlook. He's the only person I've ever worked with that uses them. My outlook, however, is set to never send anyone a read receipt without my permission, because I am a normal person. I bet it pisses him off that he can't tell whether I've read something or not.

Read receipts feel like something that nobody asked for but that messaging apps decided needed to be pushed on us all one day just to make everyone a bit more miserable.

every new thing has been engineered to make you miserable. you probably dont notice it anymore, but every waking moment of the average firstworlder consoomers life is centered around stimulation provided by some service, and every nuance of accomplishing that stimulation is a value proposition as far as the capital class cares, which means it "drives engagement". mmos were early pioneers in hiring psychologists to engineer positive feedback interactions with games, but im 100% convinced that every substantially large software project also works with psychologists to engineer addictive interactions in their software.

Android barely supports RCS. Google hasn't opened up the APIs to third party apps.
