@unnameduser#RCS ne remplacera jamais entierement #SMS puisqu'il fonctionne sur le réseau donnés Internet (et surtout sur des serveurs #Jibe de Google). Il peut franchir les frontières si les pays impliqués ne bloquent pas l'accès aux serveurs ou au donnés (comme tout autre messenger). SMS fonctionne au niveau des connexions cellulaire, avant même la voix et surtout les donnés, mais elle est fourni et geré par chaque telco.
Waarom gebruiken we nog #communicatie apps als #WhatsApp e.d. als elke telefoon standaard #RCS in het belmenu heeft?
Wat is RCS? Rich Communication Services, RCS kan een berichtje sturen. Berichten kunnen veel langer zijn dan een SMS-bericht en je kunt je bericht voorzien van allerlei media zoals foto’s, GIFjes of video’s. Daarnaast kan je via RCS ook een leesbevestiging krijgen van het bericht en is versleuteling mogelijk op de inhoud.
@SomeGadgetGuy Hell has frozen over..... #Apple adopting #RCS into their SMS/instant messenger application.
This is amazing news for cross platform messaging but I can't help feeling reserved, apple being apple. They said they would help improve the security of RCS. Was it implying that it's not good enough for them or genuinely interested.
What's your thoughts J?
[I missed Monday morning tech chat]
Chatting MediaTek and Smartphone AI, Apple Caving on RCS, Sam Altman Heads to Microsoft as OpenAI Melts Down, and more advertisers dump Twitter!
Plus, what tech are YOU thankful for this year?
Of course Apple is going to support RCS, they literally have to as it’s the replacement for SMS and afaik required for 5G certification. They dragged their feet to try and pretend they weren’t interested, and the people who suffered most were their own customers who got a crap experience.
This is how Apple weaponizes their own users.
But hey, I guess it is one less barrier for me ever considering using an iPhone? 🤷♂️ Now let’s do sideloading.
There is more to #iMessage than messages (there are games, utility, effects & business apps that have seamless integrationwith iMessage) so I doubt many #iPhone users will switch to #Android due to #RCS.
#Apple understands this as well, which is why they are willing to accept RCS as a “backup” messaging service.
Bei o2 kostet #RCS nichts extra, aber braucht halt genauso Mobilfunk, wie andere Messenger auch. Keine Ahnung weshalb die Leute RCS immer mit SMS vergleichen. Um eine SMS zu bekommen, muss ich kein Mobilfunk aktiviert haben, vor allem wenn man nur Volumentarife beim Mobilfunk hat. Das Konzept ist so tot. Das wäre nur etwas geworden, wenn man kein WLAN/Mobilfunk gebraucht hätte.
So ist es nur Müll. Da ist eine SMS-Flat für 5 Euro praktischer als RCS.
The big question that I have not seen asked in the US-centric tech press about #Apple’s support for #RCS is what this will mean for #WhatsApp. That is already the dominant interoperable messaging standard across Europe and in much of the rest of the world. Is it entrenched enough to persist, despite its awful user experience, or could RCS supplant it?
On #iOS the native Messages app has way better #UX; on #Android OTOH the system SMS app often feels like an afterthought.
Apple to finally bring RCS to iPhones: But alongside iMessage
I was really sure this was an early April Fool’s joke, but it appears to be genuine…
Apple will keep its iMessage as-is, so that won’t affect its security, and they don’t want to bring iMessage either to Android (as that would lose them customers).
I've not been able to find much info about how the RCS standard works and whether it's end-to-end encryption; Apple seems to think that its encryption needs to be improved to bring it up to iMessage's encryption standard.
Apple announces that it will move to the RCS messaging standard “later next year,” bringing a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users. 9to5Mac reports: https://flip.it/F41C2g #Tech#Apple#iPhone#RCS
My take: they knew they were going to lose if the EU designated them as a gatekeeper for messaging, and instead of taking three public losses (USB-C, App Store), they'd rather just do it early, and look good to the non-techie folks who don't follow this stuff.
