musya RCS is pretty much the same thing as WA, Signal, Telegram. Except that includes SMS and MMS also, it replaces them. I provided you links. But now Nothing is supposed to create a replacement for WhatsApp or Telegram, is that what you want to say? And have a grand total of two users globally, lol. Good luck with that. Cheers.

uhh, no?.. ( I was just thinking about basic SMS app )

and.. aren’t this <Google Jibs> kind of some monopoly, occupation¿.. that is requiring only its messenger app, no API.

i just don’t get it how RCS works.

Zac 🛸 visual overhaul. And most importantly every nothing default app have cohesiveness. Gallery looks different. X looks different. Essential look like it doesn’t made by nothing team. Every nothing app should look like they made by same company. If you can’t do that. Please tell me . So I can move on or not to the apple. Because it’s costly but atleast every app feels cohesive and thoughtfully designed.

So let’s replace modern, safe and secure standard (RCS) with an obsolete crap that no one uses seriously?

musya aren’t this <Google Jibs> kind of some monopoly, occupation¿.. that is requiring only its messenger app.

Google Jibe. And no, RCS is free. It’s just that since 2009 those East Slavs Google were willing to invest hundreds of billions of USD to build the global infrastructure so everyone else can use it. You know, all those East Slavs, including Apple and Samsung:

But let’s rather go back to the 1990s and SMS, to not be those East Slavs (and to have a nOtHiNg AeStHeTiC uI mEsSaNgInG aPp) 😉🤘

i was not saying this 🥀🥀

alr, just stop.

free, but, only Google’s exists?

grepGander in “amusing for east slavs” i meant, that, like, in Russia (and other countries) we still using basic cellular network for SMS.

idk, go ahead, laugh about it, we are savages.

{ I was just thinking about basic SMS app

and didn’t know about that RCS much*and what it do in other world.

grepGander

musya If you can use RCS there is not a single reason to pick SMS over it. Unless RCS is blocked so the government can track and spy, that’s a different story… (SMS can be read by anyone, it’s not private, it’s like sending a postcard)

grepGander

musya Google is the only one to “unite” everyone globally, yes. So someone from Malaysia can chat over RCS with someone from Germany who can chat with someone from Russia who can chat with someone from Canada… Android (Google Messages) or iOS (iMessage), doesn’t matter. Only Google was willing to invest billions (100+) of USD to build the necessary global infrastructure 🤷‍♂️

Hello everyone, there are no real changes in their updates; they are just giving us empty promises. There are no major improvements for daily use—for instance, the camera app still lags. It closes unexpectedly, and when you reopen it, it stutters. OIS doesn’t work properly, causing lag during video recording. The display isn’t truly black; there’s a green tint, and the network settings reset whenever the wallpaper is changed. WhatsApp doesn’t work right either—it keeps crashing. These are the issues with the Nothing 2a Plus. They need to upgrade camera features and add customization options for the lock screen. The software needs to run smoothly for daily tasks; right now, the phone lags when opening the camera, especially on Instagram.

So pretty much nothing works on the phone, but some lock screen customisation is still crucial? 😬
