The actual effect is to know when my message is secure. No, RCS or another protocol does not mean it’s secure, even if they have some encryption. The other app can still eavesdrop after the message has reached the end.
But perhaps the courts would want to weaken security. It’s definitely a thorn in their side.
The actual effect is ostracism of green bubbles. You literally get kicked out of social circles and get peer-pressured into buying an iPhone.
Does this.... actually happen? To like, people over the age of 10?
If so, I'd almost be thankful to Apple for letting me know who not to bother being friends with.
If someone in my social circle ostracized someone else because of their phone, they (the person doing the ostracizing) wouldn't be in my social circle anymore.
if you're not joking you can see countless examples on social media sites. it's not just friends it's family, coworkers.
my friend group has a separate group chat for just android users and they get party invites after the main group does.
