I’m just sitting here frustrated because I’m wanting my family to move away from messaging me over SMS (they mainly use iOS), but they refuse to download any extra apps. But Google’s RCS really doesn’t look like a solution either since it mainly just seems to be a way of enforcing Android as an ecosystem, and they don’t even make RCS available for 3rd party apps to use either.

    Weird family. Pretty much all my family and friends happily installed WhatsApp except for the odd ancient mad auntie and that’s probably for the best because it’d get racist quick.

    The main issue would be trying to wean them off WhatsApp onto another system (XMPP? Matrix?).

      Hah, meanwhile, the younger ones use Telegram here because the weird old people are on WhatsApp and can’t stop sending boomer messages. xD
