Google executive invites Apple to add RCS to the iPhone to end Blue vs. Green bubble war
Google Senior VP Lockheimer asks Apple to support RCS
On Thursday, Google Senior VP Hiroshi Lockheimer invited another big player to join the RCS revolution: Apple. In a tweet, the executive wrote, “Group chats don’t need to break this way. There exists a Really Clear Solution. Here’s an open invitation to the folks who can make this right: we are here to help.” Can’t figure out what that tweet means? Let’s dig in deeper.
DeChambeau’s teammate, Scottie Scheffler, was asked during a press conference whether members of the U.S. Ryder Cup team were still bragging about their victory during group chat sessions. Scheffler responded by saying, “Honestly, our group chat was a little bait of a pain in the butt because Bryson is the only one who does not have an iPhone. I know that’s really a shock that Bryson’s the odd man out on that one. But we gave him some crap about that in the beginning of the week.”

You see, all it takes is one Android user in a group chat full of iOS users to move the conversation off of the encrypted iMessage platform and on to the green bubbled, unprotected SMS platform. Yes, if Apple were to support RCS we would not see group chats “break” in this manner and chats between Android and iOS users would be encrypted.
