So that's it ? RCS will only be available through Apple's iMessage and Google's Messages. What a shame

They had a messages app?
23 0 ReplyYeah, it's not as noisy and messy as Google's, it let's you folder messages by category and has a nice clean quiet interface designed for large displays. Google's tries to push and sell you on features every time you use it.
A pity the good one is going away.
