Google mocks Apple in new video for lack of RCS messaging support

Economic Times · 1y

Google has released a video mocking Apple for not supporting the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging protocol on the iPhone. The video compares the iPhone to an "iPager" and urges Apple to upgrade to RCS. RCS offers features like end-to-end encryption, read receipts, and high-resolution media sharing, similar to iMessage. The video is part of Google's ongoing "Get the Message" campaign to pressure Apple into supporting RCS. Despite the release of iOS 17, there is still no support for RCS on Apple devices.
