I don’t see Messaging interoperability of the iMessage protocol in the complaint.
I see:
* third-party apps not being able to send/receive carrier messages (SMS)
* only Messages getting background running
* blue/green colored bubbles.
The background running thing is a bit of a surprise. If you had asked me, I’d have said iMessages didn’t run in the background given it’s load delay for new messages.
Yeah, iMessage completely craps out when sending messages without signal. A red dot and manual “retry now” button? What is this? ICQ in 1995?
WhatsApp on iOS does a much better job, ironically (it just sends all queued outgoing messages once connectivity is back in the background, like every email client did back in dialup days).
