Cool to see happen. My mom and my brother in law use Android and I haven’t been able to convince either to just use Signal to message me. This will prove to be a better bridge.
It’s odd watching this from Europe, where cross platform third party messaging platforms are ubiquitous. Nobody seems to care about blue or green bubbles because they are all using WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger or one of the many others.
Reminds of the days of old instant messaging, where different regions, or social groups even, would favour MSN Messenger, Yahoo, ICQ, AOL Messenger etc.
Is it not really annoying to have four or five different messaging apps to contact different people? How do you keep track of who is on what?
At least with SMS/RCS, I know everybody that I want to contact can receive it.
Im using 4 different messenger apps and i dont really need to track it. If people sent you a message, i just open and respond. I have an iphone and i dont use iMessage at all. I think Europe is different to USA.
