In a welcome update for Android users, Google began to test a new feature that allows people to modify messages even after sending them to iPhone users. So far, this capacity was only possible in conversations between Android devices. Thanks to updates in the RCS standard, publishing on platforms finally becomes possible.
What’s new?
The new editing feature is based on the Universal Profile 3.0 standard. This update improves the way Android phones and iPhones exchange messages using RCS or rich communication services. With him, users can press a message sent for a long time and press a pencil icon to change the content. The original message will appear in the typing field, where the changes can be made, then feel. There is a 15 -minute window to make these changes.
This brings Android closer to IMEAGE type features, but there are still some differences. On the Android side, the message edited replaces the original one. On the iPhone, however, the new version appears as a separate message and is often marked with an asterisk. This can cause some confusion, especially in rapid rhythm conversations.
Currently, the functionality is only tested with a small group of beta users. Google probably collects comments before deploying it to everyone. There is no word yet at the time when a wider launch could occur. In addition, iPhone users still cannot change the RCS messages they send to Android users. Apple may need to update its messages application to support this functionality entirely.
Despite these early hiccups, the functionality marks an important step for multiplatform communication. With other RCS improvements such as striking indicators, high quality images and reading receipts, messages of messages provides more flexibility and ease to users.
This update helps to make the textos Android texts more modern and user -friendly, even in mixed disc conversations. Whether you correct a typing fault or reproach your message, have the possibility of modifying you give you better control of your cats.
