Rich Chat messages

[magia21]

Hello, I wanted to ask everyone but especially Sprint Note 10 owners. With the 2 newest updates did you lose that feature or is it acting up today? I have mine turned on but now only today when I send my wife or any other Samsung owner a text/chat its showing me as a green bubble instead of the Usual blue bubble. So I go into her contact info from the message app and the toggle is off under chat message so I turn it on manually. I get out of app to do other things and go back into messages and boom green bubble again and in her info toggle again it switches back to off automatically on rich chat toggle. Thank you

Messages coming from you goung to other Samsung phones...... Are your words in a blue bubble?

 

[Super Dave426]

My words have always been in a green bubble, but I'm on night mode and the background is black. There is a blue circle on the contact before I open the conversation. I also have the info about message delivered, read and someone typing.

If you open the text app there's a little blue dot on the person's lower right corner, whether in conversations or contacts.

Here's is some news on the US front. The big four US carriers decided who will build out RCS in the US. It's the same company that built out Japan's system.

Android Central: U.S. carriers finally agree on who will build the country's RCS network.

This is bad news , I wanted Google to run this but looks like the carriers going up the cost on us someway or another .

There is a potential for that yes. Right now we'll just have to see how it plays out.

My question is why should Google be the only one to make money from this?

Because, you are correct. It's about revenue and profits, shouldn't the carriers be able to benefit from it? They own the networks that they built. Google didn't build and maintain Verizon's, AT&T, and Sprint/T-mobile's respective networks.

True I agree but these carrier make enough money on us , hate to give another reason for them to jump and spike the price but in the end it opens the door for anyone gets involved to make some money

Besides, Google is still on the playing field. If the carriers try to block Google Messages, they'll get their collective peepees whacked. Google has a lot of pull.

Yup ...but carriers are going do their own RCS with it's own apps

 

[anon(7901790)]

Yes. Google has already been talking to CCMI and they (CCMI and Google) are suppose to be compatible.

That is coming from Google. We'll see. I may switch to Google Messages. I've been using Verizon Messages+ for a while now. Messages+ already has some RCS type features; like delivered and read receipts.

Worst case scenario, there are compatibility issues between the CCMI and Google (which I doubt will happen). In that case we can all use Google. If there are no compatibility issues, then it is essentially a win for all. The carriers get their cut, Google gets its cut, and us consumers get to choose which app we want to use and even if we want to enable RCS.

No, they're 2 different apps.
