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.

RCS needs to happen, I’m so sick of Whatsapp.

Google’s RCS is as proprietary as iMessage

Looks like it’s not open sources, yes.

Why not switch to something not owned by Facebook like Signal (or something on an open protocol like Element)?

No one I know uses Signal or is skilled enough to switch away from Whatsapp. 100% have WhatsApp.

Trying to switch, would be like talking people into using Linux. Not going to happen unless the current option got much worse.

Using Signal is incredibly easy. Unless your friends are too incompetent to even install an app, they can be set up in a couple of minutes.

Notice I said using and not switching, because there’s no need to pick just one.
