I care about the color of the message insofar as it indicates whether it’s encrypted or not.
If not color, what should they switch to in order to still communicate this information to the user?
The article isn’t clear on how encryption will work with RCS. Guess I’ll be looking into that.
This is what I was going to say. It’s good to know if a message chain is going over Apples E2E encryption or regular SMS that’s completely transparent to the carrier. There’s also a fundamental technological difference that allows group messages over iMessage, but not over SMS. iOS 18 supporting RCS helps a lot, but I still think it’s a good idea to have an easy way to differentiate iMessages vs RCS vs SMS due to security and functional differences.
