RCS is garbage.

And you should use /s to let people know you're being sarcastic.

Frankly, the iMessage approach has been the answer forever, Signal had the idea for a while and dropped it.

Yeah, the internet doesn’t understand sarcasm. 🤷

iMessage has been the answer? This is one of the reasons I switched to Android. Apple's solution is make you all dependant on only buying their products / services to able to communicate between them. I just received a video in a group chat yesterday that looks like it was taken on a Gameboy from the 90's because one person on the chat has an iPhone that doesn't support RCS, so we're all stuck on SMS.

Honestly, WhatsApp has been the answer for years, which is fucking sad as well.
