This sounds like a nice step towards modernizing texting, but it’s a shame that Messages doesn’t have an open RCS API to encourage broad adoption across messaging apps.

will only hurt their attempts to make Apple interoperate…this will only hurt adoption on the long run.
Any interoperating from Apple will be minimal and begrudging, at best. Google should not hold themselves/their tech and their users back for the distant hope that Apple will be cooperative (because Apple won’t regardless).
That said, Google really should open up the API.

The better solution is to move away from proprietary messaging apps altogether. Simplex Chat, Jami, Session and signal all support both Android and iOS.

Signal has third party apps like Molly. iMessage only works on Iphones and is utterly proprietary and locked down which makes it a bad option for most people.
So… Just like every other modern messaging app?
How far back are they gonna allow? Like, I need to edit the evidence level or oops I misspelled that last message level?
Thirty minutes. So mostly misspelled words. Most implementations of this type of feature also have a small “Edited” flag.
Nah babe, I never said that, you must be tripping.
Pushing out them wild ideas
I don’t really care for Matrix but at least Matrix is a open standard.
Well there goes another reliable source of evidence. I’m hoping that we don’t end up making everything into discord where people can flat out brag about how they’re abusing kids in their basement and then delete when law enforcement comes around (Yes I actually saw that happen)
