Google, which is in the middle of a campaign to get Apple to support the RCS platform, used the song to help its cause.
In the tweet, Google wrote, “The Android team thinks Drake’s new song “Texts Go Green” is a real banger. It refers to the phenomenon when an iPhone user gets blocked. Or tries to text someone who doesn’t have an iPhone. Either way, it’s pretty rough. If only some super-talented engineering team at Apple would fix this. Because this is a problem only Apple can fix. They just have to adopt RCS, actually. It would make texting more secure too. Just sayin’. Great track tho.”
I mean, that’s the whole premise of Apple in the USA. This green vs blue bubble issue is not predominant in other countries.
Instead WhatsApp is a plague, at least in Europe. I really hope Googles modern SMS successor takes off.
@dunestorm @painfulasterisk It won’t. The only way to escape #WhatsApp is using #Matrix with bridges.
