It’s all about the bubbles.

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.

    Unfortunately, no federated service will be as noob friendly as a centralised service.

    It has made improvements although I agree it needs some more work in the ease of use department.

      I can’t agree. What is the thing that decentralized service cannot have?

      Imagine theoretical Matrix client with Signal’s UI and Signal’s identity (phone number) resolution.

        Phone number resolution is already a feature with identity servers but most servers don’t implement it.

        Also have to choose a server increases the barrier of entry. I guess element works around that by defaulting to matrix.org although that’s not a great solution.
