Lockheimer: Google wants to help Apple ‘correct’ it on iPhones – Times of India

Google SVP Hiroshi lockheimer said indirectly Apple To increase support for RCS – which is considered a major upgrade for SMS text messages. In fact, Lockheimer subtly indicated that Google is ready to help Apple do the same. Lockheimer tweeted, “Group chats don’t need to be broken like this. A really obvious solution exists. Here’s an open invitation to those who can make it right: We’re here to help.” It goes without saying that “people” means Apple.
Google is pushing RCS as the default texting service for Android phone but no word from Apple whether or not iphone Will support RCS or not. Within the Android ecosystem, RCS may set a standard for texting, but the problem occurs when an iPhone user texts their friend using an Android phone. Group chat breaks on iMessage.

The whole conversation surrounding iPhones not supporting RCS began when a story about pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau’s iMessage group chat breaking was published. DeChambeau uses an Android phone adding green bubbles to iMessages’ group chats. The official Android Twitter handle responded by saying, “Green Jacket is next for our Green Bubble King” and Lockheimer quoted the tweet with his “Really Clear Solution” (RCS) for not breaking up group chats.
For the past few years, Google has been working to provide chat features in Messages based on the Open Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard. These chat features upgrade SMS text messaging to improve the user experience and make it more interactive and engaging. RCS Messaging enables Android users to send and receive superior quality photos and videos, chat over Wi-Fi or data, receive read receipts, share responses and much more.
