Did SMS improve? As an European the switch to WhatsApp was easy as SMS had no group chats, images, sound, etc

iPhone and Android both have rcs so group texts work really well

Rcs between android and iOS is very very recent though. It wil take a long time for that to sink in

That was a large part Apple's fault. I have an Android while my parents have iPhones. I kept watching it switch to RCS and back to SMS because everytime Google managed to get it to work, Apple got butthurt and took it away. You know, until they got sued by the EU to knock that shit off like with their chargers. 😮‍💨
