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.

    Well Google is arguably the big kid here 70% of all cell phones are android phones. Also, Google puts its apps/services on Apple devices. There’s no way to rewind time, change a variable or two, and then play it back to see how things change.

      That’s framed as if google is this generous corporation that’s all “Peace, love and Agnostic apps” rather than to farm data from a competitor’s users.

      Google wants all the users data regardless of the platform they’re on.

      Apple put their services on Android devices too. Just not iMessage.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if they cite privacy as a reason.

        If they were honest, they would cite “creating the illusion of superiority via systematic exclusion which leads to profits”
