You know, I kept a Google account explicitly for RCS, and to mitigate the insane amount of spam texts I get, but if they're gonna continue adding spam directly into the app itself, that's going to be the last straw for me...
Hopefully now that Apple is enabling RCS, some other Android apps will appear.
Lol afaik their own UX/UI design philosophy (Material Design 3) literally says there can only be one FAB
wish simple messages would add rcs and reactions.
also hate how samsung for rid of their own app for this
Google unfortunately locks down the RCS api's in Android so that only the system messaging app (basically just Google Messages these days) can use them, so I don't think any independent messaging apps can integrate RCS at all :/
It's not even enabled for Google Workspace accounts, but it's still forced upon you even though you can't use it.
Been using Samsung messages for years, not Google messages, but I just wanna comment.
I'm OK with it. It's been an ai race. It's natural that Google is taking advantage of the millions of Android phones and of the fact that many are using Google messages and Gmail. Adding Gemini to Google messages is sensible to me. I just hope it won't be annoying.
Gmail has been my main email but I didn't see Gemini in it. Maybe in the future?
