      You mean one built in app like iMessage?

      My experience: pixel had a default messaging app. No way to use it on desktop. Install hangouts so I can have both. Make it default. Media woul still be sent to that first app, text to hangouts. Same with trying to send media, only that first app.

      Getting sick of that UX, I try to make that first messaging app default. Never could get normal texts back in that app.

      I'm trying to understand why Telegram doesn't serve your needs (since you already said it has to work outside of Android)

      So this forces other users to join also? At least on iOS it seems.

      Don't all chat systems "force" people to join in order to use them? Or are you looking for something that purely works as an optional SMS++?

      I guess Facebook Messenger does that? To be blunt, I don't find this aspect of iMessage to be good, as an Android user. It means my friends get angry at me when my mere presence in a chat "removes features" and there's nothing I can do about it.

      It’s not that I overall like it either, but I’ve got older generation family on iOS, wife, friends. I just wanted a good sms client that was also accessible from a computer.

      Right, and I'm saying in practice this is just as bad as the thing you don't like except there's nothing I can do about it. Being an Android user in a friend group that uses iMessage is a mark of shame.

          iOS users just don't notice it because "everyone uses iMessage". It's really insidious.

          I agree 💯. I became that user. I’m not a fan of how iOS handles this for other users, but for the time being I went back. I have more than a foot out the door with Apple.

          I'm hopeful RCS is the solution to this problem in the medium term, and hope that apple eventually gets pressured into supporting it.

          I’ll be off Apple next gen either way. iPad/laptop will be a surface product. Already use desktop pc at home, convinced work to beef up my windows testing machine. Only use my work MacBook in meetings. Pixel 1 was close to enough, looking forward to 3rd gen.

          Yeah but if apple doesn't support RCS we'll have the iMessage problem in reverse.

          Hopefully it will be popular enough to make them
