I really hope for the sake of everyone that uses messages that Apple will eventually make a different shade of green for RCS...because it's going to be very confusing if it looks exactly the same as SMS
I’m a member of a group chat my extended family uses for communicating about our annual reunions. All group members are on iPhones. I have one niece who’s on Android and we can’t add her because SMS contacts cannot be added after the group has been created. We’d have to recreate the group from scratch to add her.
yeah this is a known problem and I had this happen to me to...so I'm happy to hear that a solution will be coming hopefully soon I'm just glad in my closest friend group we all use Discord so we don't have to worry about this mess
So, really... nothing's going to change on the iPhone end. RCS support is just going to ensure that little things like read-receipts and "typing now" bubbles appear in cross-platform messages (i.e. the green bubble conversations). In other words, it allows Android users to see more of the things that iPhone users are able to see in blue bubble conversations. Though I'm going to guess that Apple is going to continually add more functionality and little extra things for blue bubble conversations that won't be available on green bubble conversations just to stay one step ahead of the competition. I do hope that Apple's adoption of RCS will include end to end encryption of green bubble conversations, though. That would be really great.
Umm I don't know why they telling y'all these lies bcuz we don't have any issues on Android it's apple blocking out videos and pics to make them look bogus so ywll can feel like the iPhone is more superior which it's not our videos and pics to one another is perfectly fine 🤣🤣 ours on our end from Android to Android has no issues it's apple making ywll feel like and think android is trash when it's the best pidd just look how apple is stealing all Samsung features then watering them down to ywll lol ywll tripping
There are several changes on the iPhone end. You no longer get texts from your friends on a group text reminding you that your photos and videos got degraded to unwatchable. For over a decade that’s been the biggest problem when texting between platforms. You will also get read receipts and typing indicators when interacting with Android users. So actually several changes on your end
@@drdrew3You just wrote what they wrote. Better communication across platforms but as far as just Apple devices to Apple devices, RCS adds absolutely nothing.
Apple has already stated that they won’t add end to end encryption unless the GSMA standardizes it. They are refusing to use Google encryption for whatever reason.
@@Deepkick679 I'm not surprised at that, seeing as how Apple doesn't really want to implement RCS into the iPhone system, and it's only doing it most likely due to pressure from the EU. As a company trying to market the superiority of its products, it probably makes no sense to add end-to-end encryption since Apple's own iMessages system is already end-to-end encrypted, and it sees its system as superior to RCS. I would guess that they are refusing to use Google's encryption because they don't trust it to be secure enough.
It's going to be the same as SMS. Like I said in the video, the early builds of iOS 18 don't support end to end encryption. Without that, it will be as secure/private as SMS is. If Apple does add E2EE, then it will be closer to iMessage.
@@AppleInsider But even if there will be an E2EE, my message will end up on a device controlled by Google's Android. And RCS is deeply integrated into Android, I suppose. So different than Apps like Signal, which is just running on Android... I hope you get my point of concern.
Right?! idk what I was doing there. I correct people on it all the time and I'm pretty sure I had a second take or a second time in the video where I said "ten R." Someone pointed it out before I took the vid live and I figured hey, will spur some comments! I've been pretty ill the last several days so I'll write it off as that! Don't take away my Apple card!
In the world I live in (Vermont) cell service sucks so most of the time the only connection is just plain cellular. No data so I’m not that excited about RCS. I just hope in they’re grand scheme of making things better they keep good old SMS because basically that’s all I have for communications 90 % of the time.
Thank you for the video. Your face is generally blur throughout the video. Maybe you need to set focus on your face or change setting in aperture. It will make your video is more pleasant to watch.
Great and informative video. Just a comment on the audio. There’s a hum and the audio is a bit teeny and… I’m using headphones and on max volume. 😬 And your face is out of focus a bit.
This will cover all iOS 18 iPhones as well as most Android phones as it was added to Google Messages a few years ago. There may be stragglers on both sides that won't be compatible but it will be largely available. Plus it needs to start somewhere. In a few years, near 100% of phones will have it.
When I got an iPhone they couldn’t MMS the first two iPhones couldn’t MMS the iPhone 3GS got an update to enabled MMS didn’t even launch with MMS the iPhone 4 would have been the first iPhone to have native MMS out of the box
Oh the frustration of sending a high quality 5MB movie to an android user only to discover they got a low quality grainy cheap half image of junk quality.
I thought RCS was so android phones could have a half decent messaging. I don’t understand what benefits it gives to iPhone users. Simply don’t have any android friends.
It will now support Android to iPhone and iPhone to Android messaging. So high-res videos and pictures, typing indicators, read receipts, in the future encryption, etc. So it does benefit iPhone and Android users.
So basicly wanting to not have your pics nerfed in quality and smoother integration is whiny... right. Apple not adapting this until now was literaly criminal.
You as an iPhone user are loosing out on us not being able to send you our full res pics/reactions. And it isn't android users it's Europe government that forced them to work with RCS due to anti consumer practices. The only reason apple does this is so you can tell us how shit android is and to switch to an iPhone, making them more money.
Texting is a form of communication and it needs to be standardized so that any user across any platform can communicate to anyone and have the same technology.

Literally just make them blue
It will literally say “text message-Rcs” in the chat box

The question is whether RCS cuts accross all phones, IOS and androids. If not, dont change anything. Stuff it.

It's funny how people think apple messages are better when they were still using tech from around 1998. I guess ignorance is bliss
GIFs = Jraphics
RCS = NSA

It seems RCS only benefits non-iPhone (android) users. I don’t see the benefit for iPhone users.
If you're an iOS user who messages Android users through iMessage then this change will benefit you.
It will now support Android to iPhone and iPhone to Android messaging. So high-res videos and pictures, typing indicators, read receipts, in the future encryption, etc. So it does benefit iPhone and Android users.
If Apple doesn’t want to support it they shouldn’t have to. Android users are sooo whiny 🙄
So basicly wanting to not have your pics nerfed in quality and smoother integration is whiny... right.
Apple not adapting this until now was literaly criminal.
You as an iPhone user are loosing out on us not being able to send you our full res pics/reactions. And it isn't android users it's Europe government that forced them to work with RCS due to anti consumer practices.
