    Encryption, photos are higher quality through it (this is where “Android cameras are bad” came from,) typing indicators, sending messages over Wi-Fi, iMessage games, and message effects.

      All of this is available on just about every messaging service, so the real answer is tribalism and lack of consumer education.

        But still, if you have an Android and someone you want to text has an iPhone, you’re using SMS, not RCS.

        I do believe RCS-compatibility for iMessage would make take a chunk out of iPhone sales honestly.

      My understanding of “Android cameras bad” came from snapchat on Android literally taking shittier pictures and videos for some reason.

        It took a screenshot of the viewfinder instead of an actual shot with shutter settings etc.
