In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users.

Apple’s decision comes amid pressure from regulators and competitors like Google and Samsung. It also comes as RCS has continued to develop and become a more mature platform than it once was.

    Thats because it’s just not true that people care about bubble color. Or at least no one I’ve ever encountered at least. The way people talk about it on here you’d think kids were killing themselves because they have an android phone and no one with iPhones will talk to them.

      Not sure if you’re serious, but as someone who graduated a US high school just a few years ago, yes young people actually do care about stupid things like this. Real otherwise completely normal seeming people discriminate based on bubble color.

        They should be publicly ridiculed and shamed then for their stupidity.
