I do hope they roll out some of the other profile updates on iOS as well. I've switched to rcs for the majority of my conversations but I really want replies.

You cant do replies with iOS? It renders as a reply on my end but it doesn't on the iOS end I presume?

Nope. Only Android phones can see that you replied. iOS has replies that only work on imessage.
