RCS won't change the bubble colour though?
RCS is just a newer standard isn't it? Replacing sms? But iMessage isn't sms or RCS.
It's like on signal, prior to them fucking it, when someone sent an sms it would come in as normal and a signal message would be encrypted.
Anyone who thinks this is about the color of the bubble is either misinformed, or 14 and a bully.
No one sane actually cares about the color. It could be pink, purple, green, red, blue, whatever, and people would still have the exact same problem, being that RCS is not supported, and SMS/MMS is shit in comparison.
It's less about the bubble and more than group texts and multimedia are notoriously botched between Android and iOS. The color of the bubble tells Apple users that they should expect a worse experience.
Not a big thing but in the days before iOS 5 and iMessage came around, all bubbles were green since it was SMS only.
