Messages on iPad does sync over availability of carrier messaging services though for usability (e.g. it showcases RCS in the input box, although it still wont decide what to send a message as since that‘s done by your phone). iPads purchased with cellular modems do indeed support carr...
Unfortunately, this does not mean that your Mac can send RCS messages on its own; it still needs to use text message forwarding from your iPhone. That’s because RCS, like SMS, still depends on your eSIM and phone number. Text internationally for less RCS messages don’t have the steep ...
They're always going to make any alternative less appealing, and as much as it might irritate us, it's brilliant on their part. There's evidence that shows that people switch to or stick with iPhones just for iMessage alone. This is such an annoying mentality that Apple has there. ...
RCS has appeared under a few different names at some carriers. In its early days, you may have seen it referred to as Advanced Messaging, RCS Chat, Joyn, Message+, or SMS+. On that note, both parties must be using a compatible messaging app and network to send and receive Rich Communi...
