Google appears to be working on an editing feature for the Messages app. The feature is hiding in the latest beta.
This sounds like a nice step towards modernizing texting, but it's a shame that Messages doesn't have an open RCS API to encourage broad adoption across messaging apps.
will only hurt their attempts to make Apple interoperate...this will only hurt adoption on the long run.
Any interoperating from Apple will be minimal and begrudging, at best. Google should not hold themselves/their tech and their users back for the distant hope that Apple will be cooperative (because Apple won't regardless).
The better solution is to move away from proprietary messaging apps altogether. Simplex Chat, Jami, Session and signal all support both Android and iOS.
How about a proper backup system? I literally lost access to a group chat just because I changed phones. None of the RCS group chats migrated. Until, they fix the usability and reliability issues it will remain inferior with low usage.
Plus, whose stupid idea was it to remove the auto sort groups in message organisation? I had tabs for OTP, banking, personal, promotion, chats separated; Which was much better than the default clusterfuck you call now.
Well there goes another reliable source of evidence. I'm hoping that we don't end up making everything into discord where people can flat out brag about how they're abusing kids in their basement and then delete when law enforcement comes around (Yes I actually saw that happen)
