Yeah I’m not installing an app to send a message. I get video and gifs and all sorts of whatever I need with iMessage.
Only android people fuss with third party apps because their phones can’t reasonably send messages by default.
Android devices can reasonably send messages between each other, by default. The whole issue here is that Apple has been intentionally holding back the cross-platform messaging experience in order to make competitors seem less appealing.
I can easily send SMS to any Android phone from my iPhone. I really dont understand your reasoning.
IOW, SMS is cross-platform. Whats the issue?
As an iOS user myself, SMS is still a low quality messaging experience, cross platform or not. Apple could have taken RCS seriously years ago, raising the standard of cross platform messaging for everyone. This would result in an objectively better experience for users of all platforms, including iOS.
