Third-party app Beeper to finally bring RCS messaging to iPhones
The ongoing struggle between Google and Apple regarding the integration of RCS (Rich Communication Services) into iMessage is one that is well-known in the tech community.
Despite Google's persistent efforts to encourage Apple to adopt RCS support, Apple has made it clear that it has no intentions of enabling RCS-iMessage compatibility on iPhones in the foreseeable future.
This protracted battle has left the messaging interoperability between the Android community with a dominant 70.89% share of the global mobile operating system market and iOS's at 28.36%, according to StatCounter, unachievable.
