In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users.

Apple’s decision comes amid pressure from regulators and competitors like Google and Samsung. It also comes as RCS has continued to develop and become a more mature platform than it once was.

    A lot of high schoolers and people who never grew up after that consider it a status symbol.

        Really? High schoolers who have been known to shame/bully/hold random things as status symbols that most grown adults wouldn’t even give a second thought to?

        Lmao, they definitely do and I’ve even seen it first hand in a past life as a substitute. There’s also plenty of articles and surveys to confirm it
