   Jörg said "other messengers", not other SMS/MMS apps. You're probably
confused because - being an American - you equate "messenger",
"messages", etc. with 'texting', i.e. SMS.
 
   But with "messengers", Jörg refers to IM (Instant Messsging) platforms
such as WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc., etc..
 
   These platforms have had received and read indicator for many, many
years.
 
   That's why we non-Americans don't get it why you Americans are still
stuck in the - relative - stone age and do not even know/realize what
you're missing.

 
But we non-Americans should be aware of the fact that texting (meaning
SMS) is very popular at the other side of the pond, whereas platforms
like whatsapp, signal, telegram... are not.

  Yes, I'm sure all non-Americans in this group are well aware of that.

Thus for them RCS is a big improvement.

  So which age comes after the stone age!? :-)

And Jörg knows all this, but chose to feign ignorance.

  Well, IMO, in Jörg terms, this one wasn't so bad.
