I don't get why people keep suggesting RCS as a solution.
1)No one outside USA cares about SMS or RCS
2)A messaging app is better anyway, be it whatsapp or signal or telegram or imessage
The only people caring about RCS are USA Android users, but since Google is an USA company, they somehow think that the entire world is like USA Android users.
Protip: no we are not.

Let’s be real: there’s a lot of self-interested whining from Samsung and Google, but there isn’t any pressure.
Apple doesn’t want to that because they make money from iMessage. Android wouldn’t want you to do that if they had iMessage. If you use Android and have RCS then you don’t need iMessage because you already have the features you want. Android only wants iMessage be opened so Apple makes less money. Don’t get caught up in their war. Use your RCS messenger and don’t be worried about what Apple has.
