The company is launching the song of Canadian rapper Texts Go Green to complain about the long-term phenomenon when iPhone users exchange messages with their Android counterparts. This would no longer be the case if the two mobile operating systems operated on the same RCS standard, which Google claims offers superior photo resolution, support for larger file sizes, and many other benefits. Drake’s song is actually about the phenomenon where one iPhone user blocks another from communicating with them via iMessage, so the messages are green instead of blue. However, that did not stop Google from using the new song in a “lyrics explanation video” posted on Twitter. “The song Android Texts Go Green is a real bang, it refers to the phenomenon when an iPhone user is blocked or sends a message to someone who does not have an iPhone,” says a voice. Either way, it’s pretty rough. If only a very talented team of engineers at Apple could fix that. Because this is a problem that only Apple can fix. They just have to adopt the RCS, actually. It would also make sending messages safer. “I’m just saying a wonderful piece.” Google’s sarcastic video is the latest attempt by the company to persuade Apple to adopt RCS messages this year, with the company going so far as to call it “bullying” Android executive Hiroshi Lockheimer said in January: “Locking Apple iMessage is a proven strategy. Using peer pressure and bullying as a way to sell products is dishonest for a company that has humanity and equality as a key part of its marketing. Standards exist today to correct this. “
