JAKARTA - Apple CEO Tim Cook rejected the idea of adopting an RCS message to end the green bubble surrounding the message when an iPhone user sends a text message to someone on an Android device.

So far, messages sent from these two OS have never been smooth. Apple seems chaotic by not considering it a problem for them. It is better for the Android side, which Google is driving, to be still in disarray with the inclusion of messages between Apple and Android to be shared.

"I didn't hear our users request that we devote a lot of energy to it at this point," Cook said, as quoted by The Verge.

He made that statement when asked how Apple founder Steve Jobs felt about using the RCS standard on iMessage during the 2022 Vox Media's Code on Wednesday night, September 7. Instead, Cook said, "I want to turn you into an iPhone."

But the person who asked the question, LiQuan Hunt of Vox Media, came back with the same complaint. He said that his mother couldn't see the video he sent him. It all leads to a lack of interoperability between iMessage and RCS, both messaging systems that can enable higher quality images and videos, if they work together.

If you're trying to send videos from Android to iOS (or vice versa) using a regular text messaging app, then you know that your video really runs away in one of the gadgets. Cook's advice to fix this annoying problem? "Buy your mother an iPhone."

While it may seem ridiculous, the color of the bubble on iMessage that distinguishes Android (green) users from fellow iPhone (biru) users has become the subject of debate. Google's campaign to publicly embarrass Apple for adopting their standard clearly has no effect on Cook, which publicly focuses on opinions from people with iPhones.

Of course, there are other reasons to avoid adding RCS. The email excavated in Epic's trial shows senior Apple vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi said, "iMessage on Android will only function to eliminate [an] obstacle for iPhone families who give Android phones to their children."
