IT House January 10 news that Hiroshi Lockheimer, as senior vice president of platforms and ecosystems, oversees all of Google's operating systems. In recent years, he has criticized Apple for not supporting the RCS (Rich Communication Services) standard, making iOS iMessage and Android interoperable.
Lockheimer recently launched a new round of harsh criticism of iMessage, talking about iMessage's dominance in the "army of texting", resulting in young Android users feeling excluded when communicating with iOS users.
Lockheimer believes that Apple's decision not to support the RCS standard is to protect the supplier lock-in effect of iMessage. RCS will modernize SMS/MMS with features like iMessage, including indicators with read receipts, higher-quality photos, and sending messages over Wi-Fi/mobile data.
It House learned that Android officials also forwarded the message, saying that "iMessage should not benefit from bullying, and texting should exist as an industry solution." ”
Previously, Google Messages specifically adapted to the iMessage response message, when receiving the iMessage response message, Google Messages will correctly display the symbol and indicate "translated from the iPhone".
