It’s all about the bubbles.

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    I’ve lost track of all the messaging apps they had:

    • Hangouts
    • Chat
    • Gmail Chat
    • Google+
    • Voice

    I’m sure I’m forgetting a few.

      There’s also Duo, which turned into Meet. it’s basically Google Facetime.

      Hangouts was so close to perfect before they blew it all up.

      Now I’m using a mix of Chat and Voice and it’s terrible for everyone. Voice doesn’t even support RCS from what I can tell, and all my messages with iPhone users are full of reactions. It’s so annoying. I’ve had the same Google Voice number for over a decade, why is this so frustrating?

        Voice is soooo frustrating. It had so much promise! But they haven’t added anything to it in what 5 years? Maybe longer

          tbh I don’t know that I would remind anyone at Google that Voice exists, I think that’s just about the only thing that is keeping it alive.

      Don’t forget the one that stole its name from the other one.
