I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?
Yeah, they are both essentially doing the same thing (iMessage and RCS using Google messages app), default to proprietary message, SMS back up.
Maybe the telecoms industry needs to get involved with moving on the standard. Although, when the created MMS it was (and still is) priced out of being useable.
Back when WhatsApp charged an annual fee you could get a 1 year subscription for about the same cost as 1 MMS picture message
