Bug fixes and other improvements We've created an updated version of Beeper Mini that fixes an issue that caused messages not to be sent or received. You can get the update directly from beeper.com/update on your phone. We are still doing some final testing before submitting the update to the Google Play Store for distribution to all users. If you encounter any issues, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the app.
Me too, really do not understand this on Lemmy of all places. It isn’t and never has been outside of people still school age been about the color of the bubble. I truly want to understand this to the point I’m going to start asking anyone who posts this personally the following:
Do you A) really think that the following are not at all important to people:
B) Not aware of these things or any of the differences between iMessage, SMS, RCS, etc and truly believe the only difference is the bubble color? C) Is this just a smug reaction to the possibility that one of these App work arounds work iMessage will no longer be as exclusive if they were to succeed, and trying to reduce down the desires of those who would use it (and also the desires of Apple users who want these benefits with everyone regardless of who manufactured their phone)
@Usernameblankface@lemmy.world I’d be curious to know which phone platform you use?
I think the point is all these features are supported by RCS. Open standard that would be trivial for Apple to implement. They choose not to because they are greedy cunts. They are fully aware that this causes bullying and inability of tech illiterate to communicate with their friends/family.
Nobody older than 13 cares about color of text messages and most people recognize convenience of a single app for all messaging needs. This is an issue that Apple could trivially make disappear overnight if they weren’t cunts.
Fuck Apple.
Yeah RCS supports all of these so it’s apples refusal to use established standards as usual
I use Android, specifically Samsung.
I thought it was just the bubble color thing and people getting made fun of for their bubble color because that’s what every headline on the subject is about, and comments rarely go into depth about the rest of the issues that come from this incompatibility.
I’ve noticed similar incompatibility between Verizon messages app and non-verizon standard messages apps.
Thanks for responding, genuinely trying to understand it a bit, admittedly expected that most fall into C) especially in these techy areas.
So you’re saying it’s just about bubble color
I’m agreeing with you maybe I’m just misreading the tone of your reply haha.
Yeah I was being stupid/silly :)
The color doesn’t matter to anyone not using iMessage. In fact, the iPhone user is the one whose message is green.
