![]() IMessage should not benefit from bullying. This was later directly amplified by the Android Twitter account: ![]() Just this weekend, the Google executive was very critical about the lock-in effect encouraging peer pressure and bullying among youths. In announcing that Verizon was preloading the Google Messages app, Google’s Hiroshi Lockheimer last July pointed out that the “fallback messaging experience on the other platform will not have encryption if it’s still SMS.” The Senior Vice President of Platforms and Ecosystems encouraged Apple to support RCS on its platforms given the importance of “security and privacy.”Ī month later Lockheimer offered Google’s help as part of an “ open invitation” in a quote retweet about the experience of group chats across Android and iOS. The latest salvo this weekend was the harshest yet, but RCS on the iPhone is not the panacea to Google’s historical messaging woes, nor will support lead to a transformatively better experience for Android users when interacting with their iPhone counterparts. Over the past year, Google has publicly pressured Apple to support Rich Communication Services.
