Verizon joins its rivals, will include RCS powered Android Messages app with new phones next year
Meanwhile, Google would be happy to have Apple aboard the RCS locomotive. Hiroshi Lockheimer, senior vice president of Android, Chrome OS, and the Play Store said that getting the three major stateside carriers to agree to use RCS is a big deal, but getting Apple to use RCS would be an even bigger one. Previously Lockheimer had invited Apple to use RCS.
Lockheimer notes that Google would rather offer the slightly open RCS platform instead of having a Google developed messaging app being the default on Android. ” He says, “We don’t think there should be one messaging app to rule them all. We fully realize people are going to use multiple messaging apps.”
