Nov 18, 2023 https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-rcs-coming-to-iphone/ the same year Apple switches the iPhone to USBC, they also announce the switch to RCS as the default fallback to iMessage! this comes amid pressure from the EU about making iMessage sort of an open source, as well as Nothing finding a way to put iMessage on their phone. with RCS as the default fallback on iMessage, iOS users and Android users will be able see each others' typing indicators, read receipts, send pictures and videos at a decent quality, and hopefully also have end to end encryption.
Nov 18, 2023 I love iPhone but I hate the typing indicators. I don’t want people knowing when I’m typing. I also turn off my read receipts. I don’t wanna deal with people bitching at me because I didn’t respond to their stupid a--- message
Nov 18, 2023 Typing indicators can be turned off on RCS. I have it turned on, but I turned off read receipts

Jun 12, 2024 at 6:07 PM I know you are joking but that is literally what happened. SMS was created way back in the 90s, which Apple still uses as a fallback even today until iOS 18 releases.
Jun 12, 2024 at 7:38 PM I was being serious. Kind of embarrassing it's taken them this long. Literally risked security and convenience just to keep android and ios separate
