That doesn't work in this case. It only works if there's no caller ID name/title

I have it and have had it on all my phones and have never used it. But it’s great to have.

I just got bluebubbles server running on a bigsur VM and it’s been running without issues for the last week. Seems to me way more useful than phone link.

I highly recommend it.

That’s 8 hours. If you’re using your phone for like 6 hours of instagram during that time then the battery is probably gonna be dead.

Just get a portable battery if you’re going to use your phone that much.

You just got it. Give it a few days to finish indexing up to a week. It’s should be a much faster phone overall. If within a weeks time it isn’t resolved have it replaced.

I had the exact same reaction until I read it twice 🤣 it’s definitely not worded the best

Do you know how they included encryption in RCS? By making it go through Google servers. Whether you believe apple or not on their stance on security/privacy they have a better track record than Google does in that department. Is it a marketing tool for Apple? Absolutely. Is it still better than trusting Google to do the right thing? In my opinion, yes.

Not even the majority of carriers want to dick with RCS which is where support really should start.

Apple has shown they are willing to work towards a common standard (matter/thread being recent examples) so them not passing messages through Google servers in this case seems to be more an alignment with their public statements about privacy, even if you ignore the obvious marketing around it.

Take it back for a replacement

Press and hold on the number and it will show a dialog to copy.

do you still require a new intel processor to use unison?

Forgive my ignorance, I have no idea how this all works, but could Apple implement encryption locally? Encrypt the message before it’s sent on device, send the encrypted message, and the recipient would receive an un-encription key?

Would that work?

But just as google does, apple could ensure it’s included.

Google has made it clear they want to work with apple on it. They have a whole campaign on it. Whether how true it is behind the scenes, I have no idea. But they seem to be willing whereas apple, not so much.

RCS in its most widespread form is handled through Google’s servers. RCS as we need it isn’t happening because carriers are ass. If they replaced SMS with RCS, Apple would have no choice but to use it for fallback.

Man when I first read your title and I saw Windows phone I got all excited. Only to get bummed out when it hit me windows phone is still dead lol.

I can literally long press on THIS screenshot and it does it

The big problem with RCS is that encryption is not part of the standard

And this is any different?

And this is why we need Apple to adopt RCS. It’s basically the new standard, after SMS.

Thanks, that's a good workaround

One of them potentially prevents your phone from getting damaged and saves you the time & trouble of getting it repaired.

The other keeps your out of pocket cost lower if you do need a repair since you have pre-paid part of the repair cost in premiums and will now only have to pay a deductible. It doesn’t do anything to help prevent damage though.

They are different products made to do different things. I don’t use either. I would choose AppleCare if I had to pick one because I can’t stand having a case on my phone.

You can screenshot, click the screenshot, copy the text then delete the screenshot

Apologies for using the wrong word there, thank you for pointing that out.

I should have said unsophisticated. As in it uses the same technology that basic phone connected car head units have used for the last decade to give you basic notifications and call capabilities. I’m not excited because when I’ve used this in the past it has not been a great experience.
