I just don’t want to be tied to an apple device to Message people who only have iMessage. I live outside of the US but all my family, friends, and contacts are there.

I feel locked into iOS as international texting and calls would be so expensive.

Both Apple and Google need to get their shit together on this one, put their pride aside and agree on a standard.

I’m an apple user, but I really think the issue is being created by apple. They talked about doing iMessage on android and then someone else was like no we can’t we want people to be locked into their iPhone.

Oh, it's both. They both act like insufferable little kids with that

Google has also kept RCS proprietary. Google shares the blame as well imo

Thanks, I didn’t know that. I thought it was an open standard.
