Once Apple supports RCS & after the carriers support their iOS RCS bundles,
what problems will be solved when RCS is finally working on both platforms?

>
Hopefully the problem of transparently sending large files from(to) iOS
to(from) Android with little effort or loss.  Hopefully avoiding the
"phone" paradigm along the way.  And of course the whole encryption
issue also needs to be worked out so that it is not Google oriented.

 
Gizmodo lists the problems that should be solved when RCS is in iOS.

"Audio and video sent between devices will no longer be compressed down.
Group chats will no longer be butchered and broken as friends and family
attempt to find common ground, such as who will bring the dessert to the
gathering. And you'll see when an iPhone user has left you, dear Android
user, on read."

Everything already realised in messengers which are much more secure for
over a decade. Arlen, you are bullshitting like always.

What will be interesting to see is whether users will migrate back to
the default messages app for inter-platform communication. For instance,
I’ve preferred my WhatsApp experience for sharing high-res messages with
my iPhone-using peeps. But I also think they likely want to go back to
Apple Messages to chat with me, their one Android-using best friend,
where they already chat with everyone else. We’ll see how it lands when
iOS 18 hits iPhones this fall.
