I'm still unclear why this gets asked every post unless people keep ignoring the answers.
Me too, really do not understand this on Lemmy of all places. It isn't and never has been outside of people still school age been about the color of the bubble. I truly want to understand this to the point I'm going to start asking anyone who posts this personally the following:
Do you A) really think that the following are not at all important to people:
B) Not aware of these things or any of the differences between iMessage, SMS, RCS, etc and truly believe the only difference is the bubble color? C) Is this just a smug reaction to the possibility that one of these App work arounds work iMessage will no longer be as exclusive if they were to succeed, and trying to reduce down the desires of those who would use it (and also the desires of Apple users who want these benefits with everyone regardless of who manufactured their phone)
@Usernameblankface@lemmy.world I'd be curious to know which phone platform you use?
I use Android, specifically Samsung.
I thought it was just the bubble color thing and people getting made fun of for their bubble color because that's what every headline on the subject is about, and comments rarely go into depth about the rest of the issues that come from this incompatibility.
I've noticed similar incompatibility between Verizon messages app and non-verizon standard messages apps.
Thanks for responding, genuinely trying to understand it a bit, admittedly expected that most fall into C) especially in these techy areas.
