Why is it that anytime someone speaks negative about android that means they never used android lmao or rcs.
Read my signature. I’ve also used android since the g1 In 2008 so please try that again. I lived on forums like android central and xda. I know it’s difficult for android fans to understand but not everyone likes android, Wants android, or thinks android is anything good. Because it isn’t.
Rcs also does come in multiple flavors and the protocols are not always the most reliable. Again a simple google search would prove this.
I’ve owned well over 70 android phones the last sixteen years so please don’t tell me what I’ve never used.
mine has been spotty all day. First noticed it around 8am MST here in AZ when I had iMessages appear on my MacBook that weren’t appearing on my phone. Then I noticed messages taking forever to send
Oh wow, it didn't just swtich to SMS instead? It didn't want to embarrass you with the wrong coloured bubbles?
Oh no, wrong coloured bubble, how embarrassing!!!!!
I totally experienced this today. I thought it was my cellular service at first. But all my other online apps worked fine.
We don't need that kind of shaming here in an Apple forum. Thanks.
Even when I chose to manually send as SMS, it was still failing in some cases, but not others.
iMessage has been back up for the past 2 hours for me. Is it still down for others?
Because it is? When I unfortunately used an android rcs delivery was never reliable. I turned it off.
I’m turning it off when it comes to iPhones and I’ve already told my friends to do the same and to make sure others know. I’m fine with iMessage and sms
I had the same thing in the thirty six hours. Very spotty without total failure, but it really was taking a LONG time to send. Apple system status page never bothers to show anything.
I never trust their status board either. Down detector is decent. SoCal area here, I lost Signal app as well.That's why I don't trust this page
Apple - Support - System Status
Status for all planned and unplanned events for Apple Services.www.apple.com
because it says there everything is fine but my messages aren't going through.
When was Apple good at communicating promptly to their users that the issues they were having was Apple’s fault? My memory seems to be a bit foggy on that one.
I guess you are right. They even blamed the user for holding it wrong during the free bumper case debacle at first
Judging by just how many Apple services go down on a weekly basis these days, that would be an awful lot of Apple employees being fired!
To be fair though iMessage doesn’t go down often. but recently it does seem every week a different Apple service has stopped working in some form or another.
I told my boyfriend I felt poor because my texts were green lmao. I was half serious but it goes to show iPhone users know when something is wrong and why I love the color differentiation in messaging.
My best friend told me yesterday she hates when she text someone green. For whatever reason apple wasn’t automatically sending as text. I hate to manually send each text by text and then it would switch over.
Apple's approach is that if they don't talk about it, or even acknowledge it, given enough time the 'problem' will go away. I'm still waiting for official acknowledgement about the iCloud account fiasco a few weeks ago -- but so far, *crickets*.
I'll say it again -- Cupertino can't run a stable cloud service to save its life. After the last iCloud hiccup, I am now only 'dependent' on them for very basic things built-into the system, sadly that includes iMessage. But everything else (contacts/calendars/data/files) is at another provider which *rarely* has problems of any sort.
