I imagine they'll probably keep the blue bubbles and some features exclusive to iMessage users, but this is still great news.
I wonder if this will encourage Google to allow Fi users to have RCS while texting from PC...
Yep, they’ll definitely stick to the blue green system that already exists, threads with greens will just be improved from what they were/currently are
What do you guys think is going to happen with like an open RCS standard? RCS is only available on Google messages.
RCS has always been an open standard.
Only Google has done the work to implement it for billions of devices, so far.
That has never prevented Apple from also implementing the standard on their devices.

Wonder how it is that smaller community-based chat protocols with many more features can have so many client options: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/
While basic text messaging was for years only implemented by Google app.
