Messages adds reaction support for iPhone texts and in-app reminders

Google has left no stone unturned in pushing Apple to adopt the Rich Communication Services (RCS) that the search giant argues will improve cross-platform communication. With little to no luck so far, Google is marching ahead with things that are within its power: supercharging its RCS client Messages on Android with new features to make lives a little easier for those on the other side of the green bubbles.

Google’s Messages is adding a large number of new elements, for example, the capacity to respond to messages sent from an iPhone, set updates and furthermore have an in-application YouTube video player to watch recordings without leaving the messaging application.
