Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.
You can turn off iMessage and you’ll be sending texts as regular SMS.
…why would you do that?
No clue, just saying you’re “allowed” to use SMS if it’s important to you. But I might have misinterpreted you!
Above commenter was saying that you’re not allowed to use any other app besides the default messages app to send SMS on an iPhone, so a third party can’t just come in with an SMS app that also implements RCS so everyone can be happy
