Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage::Samsung has joined Google’s campaign to force Apple to make iMessage RCS-compatible—but European regulators are more likely to get that job done.
There is exactly one app that can use rcs. No better than apple
Confidently incorrect but ok.
The whole point of RCS is that it’s a protocol so there demonstrably would be other apps. It’s like saying there’s only one app for SMS, it isn’t true.
RCS seems to be pretty openly licensed out to other OEMs, definitely a lot better than iMessage.
It’s still proprietary though, a far cry from something like Matrix.
