    Android to Android, sure.

    But Apple and Google refuse to play nicely with each other, so Android to Iphone or Iphone to Android both suck.

    It’s not a lack of capability, it’s the refusal to implement it to try and force users to pick a side.

        To be fair, Google’s messaging plans and implementations have been all over the place for a decade. Apple still should have been more proactive. They promised iMessage would come to Android until they realized how much of a moat it became for their business.

        I don’t really care which of them is responsible for it not working decently, that’s why I didn’t point the finger at one in particular.

        Point is, it’s between these two companies to agree on a solution that works for both of them and actually implement it. Yet after all this time, they still haven’t to the detriment of consumers globally.

        I’ll believe the IOS RCS implementation when it’s actually released. Promises from corporations are worthless.
