Blue means the iMessage protocol is being used by all parties. So that means things like end-to-end encryption, data-driven messaging and photos, videos, rich replies, effects, voice replies, etc…
Green means the SMS protocol is being used by at least one person so everything is dumbed down to what SMS can do.
It’s going to stay green, just that green now includes end-to-end encryption as long as all parties are using RMS.
So no more blue vs green box bullshit? Stupidest thing I’ve seen is hate because you got a green text box.

iMessage still has other features that RCS lacks.
Even if they were at feature parity, I don’t think RCS would ever be blue. Blue is the “premium” messaging experience.
Maybe one day Apple will give RCS its own color to separate it from SMS. I hope they do to signify its security.
Nah I’m sure that’s not gonna change, it’s effortless marketing lock-in for apple
