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.

      Okay but their implementation is what they are touting. The standard RCS protocol is only marginally better than sms. Google constantly uses encryption in their ad campaigns for RCS, which is exclusive to to googles implementation. There is no way anyone is going to get Apple to work on an implementation that interoperates with Google

      Any open source Android RCS SMS apps then?

          Believe it or not you might need to pay for something that you like and use. Wierd fuckin notion I know.

          You are confusing open source with free-as-in-price. Open source is a development philosophy, not a price tag.

              The “Free” in “Free and Open Source Software” is, famously, “free as in speech, not free as in beer.”
