With respect to that prognosis, notice the important view I have below. *RCS/MLS in Messages will be the death of the independent apps* The quantum change will happen, I'm sure, but it will be the death of the myriad SMS/MMS messenging apps if they can't also implement RCS/MLS. The messaging app that kicks ass over all others, IMHO, is PulseSMS. Although unfortunately, the source code was bought by MapleMedia, but the implementation of the functionality is what is the important point to make. People who haven't tested SMS/MMS messengers have no idea how crappy the Google Messages app truly is - which is why I decry it will win due to it being the only game in town when it comes to RCS/MLS implementation. Notice my point is DIFFERENT (and well educated) from all others, which is that I agree Google's Messages with RCS/MLS will win in the end, and it will kill all other messaging apps, which is bad because it's atrocious.
