Edit: NOTE, I am the receiver of the texts.

So many people asking me to have my wife do something different on her end.

Beloved, she is on iPhone because she doesn’t want to do anything “weird.” She is texting from her phone number using her texting app. That’s what’s going to happen.

Now, why can’t I get iMessage on my android phone? If it’s just a messenger app why not make it available for Android?

I’d use it.

    I thought the whole point of iOS was that carriers couldn’t decide about pre-installed software?

    Unless you mean “if your carrier supports RCS services”; in that case a lot of people are in for a disappointing surprise.

      I think the option isn’t part of the current carrier profiles, so the carriers have to update those and submit to Apple.

        I think RCS comes with some autodiscovery capability (by sending a request to a magic HTTP URL over the right APN, haven’t read the spec in a while) but it does make sense that carriers push it in profiles as well.
