      Facebook Messenger is more popular than WhatsApp here. So it’s not like there aren’t alternatives.

        The point is that it’s not really Android users’ problem. There are options for iPhone users and, yes, if they really want to use the native iPhone messaging app they can complain to Tim Apple. Cc: @[email protected]

          Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Android users themselves don’t care about modern messaging features. Some people do tho.

            Are you implying that the RCS that comes with Google Messages is significantly less modern than whatever ships with iPhones?

            Edit: Or, are you saying that most Android users wouldn’t care if that was the case?

              RCS is less “modern” or at least feature full compared to iMessage or at least was last I checked which was last year at some point. Group chats weren’t encrypted is a big one and it doesn’t interact with other apps the way iMessage can with apple wallet etc

                The app integration is fine, although I don’t know what integration with a payment app is supposed to accomplish. I was confused about it when Signal tried to incorporate a payment feature. Rcs group chat encryption is supposed to be there, but I don’t have any groups to test it where everyone is using a compatible messaging app.
