This is awesome even though i typically use Threema or Signal for non apple to apple messages
Google just ended google messages
So now there’s gonna be another “Messaging” app in the app store?
No
Except the green ones aren’t necessarily Android users.
Genuinely never thought or noticed this before. Now it’s going to bug me every time I see the Messages icon
list of messager i dont use
They should totally change it to blue.
I think it should be a completely different color. Maybe orange. Having green mean two different things isn’t cool.
I swear there’s a new one of these every day
Honesty if android had a data based messaging app that was as smooth and seamless and I message, I’d probably make the switch back.
I enjoyed alot of things android but as I got older ease of use and functionality are #1 priority
It is better than imassage and works on all devices. Thanks apple for making photos look shit when sending from android to ios
But that actually is the Google Messaging app. I have iPhone 15PM and Google Pixel 6 Pro and I honestly can’t see anything different between messages in android and iMessage. If you have RCS enabled on android, your messages do become data based, you get typing notifications, read receipts, can send pictures and videos over internet.
I don’t understand it myself, both are so similar, android messaging is android to android and iMessage is iPhone to iPhone. They can both easily do what the other can, so this whole thing makes no sense to me
iMessage can reply to messages with stickers and play games
What are those features? I never understood what’s so special about iMessages
The end…

Everybody out of USA are gone still using WhatsApp
I had to use WhatsApp for a group chat once. I’ll never go back to it
As someone who uses both iphone and Android… Both use green bubbles. The imessage bubbles are green of you are using celular instead of internet to send messages.
Blue = iMessage. If it’s green, it was SMS, soon it will be RCS. When you don’t have a strong internet connection, depending on your settings, messages will revert to SMS. When you see the green, even if it’s to another iPhone, it is NOT iMessage and is NOT secure (sms is sent plain text)
Even if you don’t understand the blue bubble thing, (aka not in the US), arcs is still important as it’s much more secure than SMS, so one time codes from banks and other things should be harder for hackers to get.
With the announcement of RCS for iOS. I would actually appreciate the option to change the colour of my chat bubbles. If something is sms or iMessage, it usually says so above the first message or if it decides to switch because of something like signal strength
No, it just means that Android messages will show a few more things (like read status).
But the green and blue colors will remain because iMessage supports more iOS-specific features.
Took me 2 minutes to find
”Apple has confirmed to me that blue bubbles will still be used to represent iMessages, while green bubbles will represent RCS messages”
Yup and it’s not coming until iOS 18
