I'm just sitting here frustrated because I'm wanting my family to move away from messaging me over SMS (they mainly use iOS), but they refuse to download any extra apps. But Google's RCS really doesn't look like a solution either since it mainly just seems to be a way of enforcing Android as an ecosystem, and they don't even make RCS available for 3rd party apps to use either.

The sooner everyone accepts that AndroidPolice has turned into an Apple propaganda and sponsored content website, the sooner we can choose another website for Android News.

It started turning shit a few months before the original owner sold it and went downhill since.
