He announced on Thursday evening Apple something that was completely unthinkable until recently, namely support for the RCS standard on iPhones. In short, it can be said that by the end of next year it will arrive on iPhone “SMS on steroids”, which will be similar in terms of functionality iMessageHowever, while iMessage can only be sent between Apple devices, RCS messages will also be able to be sent between Androids. More about the whole issue you will find out here. Just introducing support for the like iMessage However, it has started to raise questions among Apple fans about what color the iPhones will be repainted in. Apple RCS message bubbles, as it seemed likely that they would need to be distinguished from classic texts somehow. And this very thing now Apple "chopped" in the statement for the portal 9to5mac.

Neither blue, nor red, gray or any other color. RCS messages between iPhones and Androids will continue to be green and will therefore follow the design of classic texts, although they will support sending high-resolution images, voice messages, message responses, display indicators and the like. Apple namely, he does not see any reason to introduce further differentiation and has therefore decided to stick to the current solution in the form of blue bubbles for iMessage and green for text messages. While this makes sense on the one hand, the green color of the bubbles was a thorn in Google's side, as it claimed that it was somewhat divisive. It's almost like saying that the introduction of RCS is half a victory for it, because on the one hand, communication between Androids and iPhones will be easier, but on the other hand, it will miniThere will still be minor color differences. Blue will remain exclusive to Apple and at the same time an imaginary indicator of the best communication option that can be found on iPhoneI just want to introduce myself.
It's logical, but I'd like to know how to distinguish before sending whether I'm sending an SMS, MMS or RCS?
If it's somehow clear that I'm sending SMS or RCS, then ok. But I prefer to turn off sending as SMS for now in case it fails iMessagebecause I sent a few dozen photos like this to a friend who originally had iPhone and just as I was sending it, he switched to Android. So I paid for a few dozen MMS, which I wasn't really happy about... Stupid coincidence, but it happens...
But they can only turn off MMS, you don't have to turn off SMS right away.
Please advise how to turn off only MMS?
Settings – Messages – MMS messages – there is a slider to turn it off/on, or there is also the possibility of deactivating the MMS service directly with the operator.
That happened to me too. I have a complete unlimited plan, but paid MMS - I would be interested to know if this is again a specialty of our operators only :-/
Unfortunately yes :-(
