It’s all about the bubbles.

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    I’ve lost track of all the messaging apps they had:

    • Hangouts
    • Chat
    • Gmail Chat
    • Google+
    • Voice

    I’m sure I’m forgetting a few.

      There’s also Duo, which turned into Meet. it’s basically Google Facetime.

      Google Talk was the name before it became Gmail Chat

      Hangouts was so close to perfect before they blew it all up.

      Now I’m using a mix of Chat and Voice and it’s terrible for everyone. Voice doesn’t even support RCS from what I can tell, and all my messages with iPhone users are full of reactions. It’s so annoying. I’ve had the same Google Voice number for over a decade, why is this so frustrating?

        Voice is soooo frustrating. It had so much promise! But they haven’t added anything to it in what 5 years? Maybe longer

          tbh I don’t know that I would remind anyone at Google that Voice exists, I think that’s just about the only thing that is keeping it alive.
