The funniest part is Apple refused to work with Google on an open standard so Google reworked it’s app to give Apple users the same experience Android users have had to have for years when texting with iMessage users, then not long after that apple switched to using a shared open standard
Fun fact: if one person with an iPhone is messaging someone with an android using Google Messages, and the iPhone user hasn’t enabled RCS chats, any reactions the iPhone user sends will show up on the Android as a message reaction, but reactions the Android user sends will show up as something like “[phone number] reacted ‘😂’ to ‘so I bought an iPhone today…’” which is pretty funny. How the tables turn I guess
