He prepared for tonight Apple one of the most important and at the same time most surprising announcements in recent years. Spokesperson Appspecifically through the TechRadar and 9to5mac announced that Apple is planning to introduce support for RCS, or Rich Communication Services, later next year. In other words, this means that iMessages will lose its main advantage in the form of support for sending high-resolution images and videos, voice messages, reactions, and so on. Why? Because RCS can be described very simply as SMS on steroids, copying exactly iMessagewhich is already supported by Google as part of the standard.
Rich Communication Services is a communication protocol designed and adopted by Google. Smartphone manufacturers and operators (including Czech ones) around the world have already adopted RCS, but Apple its acceptance is resisted. Google however on Apple has been pushing for RCS adoption for a long time. They are trying to do this, for example, through a long-term advertising campaign involving billboards, websites, pressure on social networks and more. Apple Although he did not listen to his words for a long time, nevertheless, given that iMessage The European Union has also started to "poke" and is supposed to consider an "opening" regulation iMessage third-party communicators, apparently the Californian giant decided that it could just let RCS on iPhones iMessage protect from EU regulation.

Compared to MMS and SMS, RCS offers support for higher-resolution photos and videos, audio messages, and the ability to send larger files. It also includes improved encryption for user-to-user communications.iPhone and Android, the ability to respond with emoji across platforms, and increased reliability for group conversations across devices. But there's also a read indicator and the like, so you can truly say that RCS messages are de facto cross-platform. iMessages.
If you are interested in the operating conditions, all you need to send RCS messages is an internet connection, either via mobile data or WiFi. On iPhonech will take this type of message place next to iMessagewith the fact that iMessages will continue to be the default for communication iPhone - iPhoneFor communication iPhone – Android will now default to RCS messaging, but classic SMS and MMS will still be available in case RCS is not available (for example, due to the other device not supporting it, etc.).

RCS Support Announcement Applem is actually extremely surprising, because just about a year ago his boss Tim Cook in one of the interviews he said that the introduction of support for this standard is not for Apple by no means a priority, as Apple fans simply don't want that. So now we're seeing a 180-degree turnaround and a de facto imaginary peace with Android, which already supports RCS. Instead of trying to maintain exclusivity iMessage in fact, it ultimately simplifies multiplatform communication by introducing support for its "copy".
It is not yet clear how RCS messages will look in the Messages application, because Apple did not announce many details about his intention. However, it can be assumed that the thread chatthere will be a new color variabubbles that will distinguish RCS messages from classic SMS and iMessageHowever, one thing is certain - text communication as we know it will change fundamentally, as it will become much simpler thanks to the multiplatform nature of RCS.
Koneit's 👌
KoneWhy can't everyone just go their own way? It's an example of Google taking advantage of its stronger market position, even though its service isn't better... but there are more users and so on. apple will probably back off. Maybe it can be somehow not used or turned off...
Or am I missing some reason why we would need this?
Because I don't see any reason why that support couldn't be there. I don't want and don't even use other communication apps, that is, except for messenger, which I only use here and there and only with people I don't have a phone number on. number, or those who do not have free sms, because I can still find them and I do not want to use services such as whatsapp, selection, etc.
In this way, it will be possible to communicate and send multimedia directly from the Messages app.
And it will definitely be better than sending a classic SMS.
Nothing changes for you, the article clearly states that messages from the iPhone to iPhone will continue to be sent as before, with all the "features" that iMessages offers extra. The only change will be that if you send from iMessage message to someone on Android, it will not be sent as SMS but via RCS (if I understand correctly). So what do you want to turn off?
I see the availability of this service as a (big) positive for users - I really don't need to have 20 on my mobile. chatovation applications – I would like one that could handle "everything".
I would still prefer it if the EU forced the unification of communicators, so it could be abolished messenger and similar crap from meta and write to everyone via imess.
Such normalization in virtual space. My God, what have you put your soul into? 🤦♂️
Btw. you can write to everyone via SMS. 😉
I've been waiting for a few years in vain Apple koneIt would actually enable penis unlocking. A guy would place his penis on the screen and if the length matched the specified sample length, the phone would unlock. Still nothing..
and how will women do it? Or will you straight away recommend 3310..? :)
Nn, this fic would only be for men. Women and 355533344499 other genders would be out of luck.
Actually, why not, maybe it will only allow using Messages and it won't matter who the recipient is. And above all, it will hopefully shut the mouth of the EU with their commie effort to regulate.
Amen
There will be an option to use it, as well as iMessageI am happy and I write KONEA person unboxing a new phone and it doesn't matter if it's iPhone or Android. Has a number - sends a picture, a message, anything. No accounts, registrations, downloading X packages because everyone uses something different. NO, one app that every phone has pre-installed and you write to whomever you want and for whatever you want.
Just how much it will facilitate the communication of the older generation with the younger one..
exactly, but writing this to the "experts" discussing here who "hate" standards (and don't even understand what they are for) is like throwing pearls to swine :(
The main thing is that the sockets are the same everywhere and they have been with us for decades...
There are so many different "standards" within the EU and nobody cares. But with phones, regulators want visibility….
Replacing billions of sockets is a bit more complicated than modifying something in the software, smart guy :-D
So just create one standard phone manufacturer, or at best one model. Your standardization lacks all parameters of competition and differentiation. If I want to use Android functions, I will buy Android. And not that I will buy iPhone and I curse that it doesn't have Android features. So now I know who gives reviews on Alza and elsewhere like: I bought a red phone and as a minus I mention that it is red :D
“Because it will be much easier thanks to the cross-platform nature of RCS,” said the person with an Android. To the people who have iPhone nothing is missing. This appl shouldn't have done it and should have stayed with what is. In my neighborhood there is iPhone 19 people out of 20 and that one communicates via whatsapp it's purely his problem.
but it's missing my contacts have 50 to 50 android and iphone , imesage video images only on na iphone and for others install the third app after this boot all app whatsapp Viber and others will leave my side iphone gone
Nothing changes for you, the article clearly states that messages from the iPhone to iPhone will continue to be sent as before, with all the "features" that iMessages offers extra. The only change will be that when you write a message to that one person with Android from iMessage, so it won't be sent as SMS but via RCS, so what don't you like?
I don't understand those who are against it
I wouldn't say that. Like you have to activate imassage. So 99% of the time you can deactivate/activate CRS. People who write one app for everything. Unite all messengers into one app They have licked their clubs. You don't want even one bank app to all banks?? As one app which I click on and choose the game I want to play??
let everyone decide what they want, I welcome it, this one will be enough
Yes. But why me? apple retreat google ?? I just don't want the option to choose CSR, I'll turn it off. Like imasage. Either I turn it on or I turn it off. Let everyone choose whether they want CRS or not. Have a choice. And not to force it.
You won't turn anything off, it will be a permanent part imessage, come to terms with it.
That iOS I also consider the fact that Android doesn't have a system application for banking as a disadvantage. A person would get used to one application and it wouldn't matter which bank/banks they use. This way, banks do whatever they want, the applications are increasingly unclear and, on top of that, they have learned to use s.at advertisements. Apple Pay it's a system one, it works without any problems and it's in order. The same email client - system one, regardless of which provider I use.
I hope that if it goes from iP to iP, the quality will be maintained and we won't just send blobs like the others...
So I would suggest executing in priority mode: iMessage, RCS, SMS
Opening iOS vs. EU regulations I don't support it (security). But I support RCS because I'm bothered by the poor quality of the chats. I use 95% of all my communication WhatsApp out of necessity and just to get some important data out of it when switching from Android to iOS It was dark. Being able to handle everything only with the help of iMessage would be nice. Who would, for some illogical reason (security, I would rather not open here Appstore a Applepay don't worry) if you don't want RCS, you can disable it - that was also possible on Android.
And on apple. I have to enable imasage activation first. He also activated who does not have imasage to send as sms. Something similar will happen with csr.
So I hope it can be turned off or disabled.
Me for example iMessage I don't use it because it started to bother me how it has to remember every photo in the iPhone's storage and then it tells you that your phone is full? I take a lot of photos and videos and send them via iMessage It's like duplicating all your photos and videos into storage. So I turned it off and went through a third party that keeps it nice and tidy on their server. The end.
