    The only way something replaces WhatsApp is if WhatsApp stops existing.

    Besides, RCS is not in any shape or form ready to the general public, considering all the blatant inconsistencies and instabilities, let alone replace one of the most used, tried and tested messaging platforms out there.

      I switched my parents group chat to RCS from whatsapp after pestering them for ages.

      Over the span of 2 months we had 4-5 inconsistencies where I would recieve a message from my mum or dad in the group that would be in another language or clearly not be written by them. It wouldn’t show up on her phone but my brother and dad would see it.

      Here’s the proof of the last occassion it happened. They’re never going to switch now…
