      Crazy to think in a couple of years RCS will be two decades old in the making

      https://www.gsma.com/newsroom/press-release/gsma-to-take-rich-communication-suite-forwards/

      I remember getting all excited when googs tried to take it by the reins in 2016ish but the amount of people that still…

      1 - simply hate it and only use SMS still (and turn off mobile data too like neanderthrals)

      2 - hate it because RCS sometimes just does not work because they got a backlog of “texts” suddenly coming through, and turn it off

      3 - use a third party app for messaging instead and have done with it

      I really don’t see how it’s gonna compete with Apple being, Apple too :/
