Google is rolling out a new service called RCS, or just “Chat,” to replace SMS and possibly compete with iMessage…

So Android is completely copying Apple because they have a better system.
Just use LINE ….
Hangouts was Google’s best messaging app. It was perfect.
I never used messaging app so fuck iPhone
WhatsApp? Anybody? Why the hell even use sms or iMessage? The only real market for sms replacement are United States of Murica. Neither China or India (both bigger market than USA) don’t care about iMessage at all so why even bother? Beside obvious fact – real competitor to Google is Amazon not Apple which sooner or later loose their market share to Amazon and Microsoft (possibly even other less known brands like Xiaomi – which already happen btw). Fact that Google made so many attempts to do this thing and kill so many project in same time prove they want to do this but it’s not their priority list. Only reason they doing it is that they comprehend fact it gives more power and more space for further data mining which is their main source of income.
Whole Android vs IOS thing is pumped by Apple and Android fanboys. Apple sells hardware + software (always together). Google sells software and from time to time hardware (main income still is software). Business models of this two corporation is so different it always boggles me why (beside fanboys) people support that comparison (ah right marketing reasons – it sells well). At least this video wasn’t clickbait like most big channels on youtube.
PS. VPN isn’t as private as people like you market it. Tor is way more secure if you get it right.
communicating in 2019 is a messsss
Apple sucks, Android rules!!
I dont want these “animations” “emojis” and whatewer.
I am the guy who dislikes the way the tech industry is going either way.
How hard is it to make a decent laptop with an HDD today?
android’s message to imessage
1year later nO Improvements
It’s called Telegram
They both get messages across to one or several people. They are both meant for the same purpose lmao
Using Enigma since 1941 and I’m totally happy. It’s extra encrypted.
Support Android.
Here’s an idea, put imessage on android and then everyone can talk to everyone else no matter what.
It’ll fail. Google would have to release a massive update for all models and force people to delete their sms app.
Whatsapp is betther
Umm isn’t google just trying to make messenger?cause that’s almost same thing.
RCS isn’t a service of google, it’s a protocol created by a bunch of Telecom companies in the GSMA Association
It’s the final response to What’s app and Facebook Messenger by the GSMA
Use WhatsApp
Android is better than iPhone
Something cross platform like Signal would be cool, capable in-house of both SMS and an encrypted protocol (if both recipients use Signal). Oh also it’s open source too
I didn’t even know the Hangouts app existed, and I’ve been using Android for 5 years. If Google wants this to succeed it has to be a mandatory install with no other regular messenger app, not sure why that’s hard for them to comprehend, that’s how iMessage actually works.
I guess that’s why they’re getting carrier support, just so some random carrier doesn’t muck everything up by installing their own messenger app.
WhatsApp is good enough for us android ppl… iMessage is not a thing internationally
So , WhatsApp…?
I never thought about this and it’s lame. How do techies find this interesting and space x and Tesla products. There’s been rockets around for a while now and there awesome and there have been electric cars other than Tesla that’s as good or better than some of there products. Hundreds of tech channels and there all boring and uninteresting.
This shouldn’t be a thing though. Fuck Apple.
2:24 The perfect reference
Just use Telegram, it’s much better anyway.
PlayStation’s Answer to Game Pass
What about Whats App everybody in my counrty uses it, and we never have a problem with it!
But whats the point of paying for sms if you use data unless it can be used trought mms because I pay 15$ a month for my cell phone and I get unlimited sms and mms worldwide and unlimited call minute everywhere in Canada but I dont have mobile data so unless it uses mms its useless for people like me
All Google had to do was move everything from Hangouts to Allo, add Duo to it as well and make it system defaults that replaced the messaging app for every Android device. Then, if another Android user messages you is sent as a instant message. It’s so simple, you make it mandatory along with Google Apps and boom, you just created iMessage for Android.
At this point just use WhatsApp for everything and wait until the magical day someone with competence does something similar to what I just said.
xiaomi has mi message
……..It’s called messenger
My carrier is not going to support this anytime soon, my friends carriers aren’t going to support this anytime soon, and we’re all already using Snapchat discord whatsApp and Messenger so…,
The main competitor here is whatsapp!
Still waiting for this
I use iPhone but not committed. It really doesn’t matter.
