    It’s just not big enough in the EU. Everyone uses WhatsApp. If Google wants to push a regulator to do this then they need to find one in a market where iMessage is actually used.

        The US has been the land of SMS for a long time, and that’s why iMessage is a product placing itself amazingly for that market.

        They are also the only ones who care about RCS, which to the rest of the world seems like someone trying to improve the VHS tapes.

          I got a 2FA code from some service via SMS some time ago and that was the first time the Samsung Messages app asked me to enable RCS. Haven’t used it since then. Most my contacts are luckily on Telegram.
