Text messages and the RCS protocol are causing a lot of controversy lately due to Apple’s refusal to accept this standard to facilitate communications between Android and iOS users.
The current situation not only makes this more complicated, but also makes messages from Android visible to Apple users. like those of someone who blocked you.
Son several disadvantages presented by Apple’s refusal in this regardand for this reason Google launched a pressure campaign to make the company of the apple twist its arm.

To launch this campaign, the label Get the message was launched, which in Spanish is something like “receive the message”, and several celebrities have come to the fore to explain why Apple should finally adopt the RCS standard and stop discriminating against users who don’t have an iPhone.
Something of little interest to the Apple company, since with the exclusivity policy it follows with messages and in other aspects of its ecosystem, you can keep more users on your side.
I text my iMessage friends from my MacBook and everyone else from my Android phone. The experience is so broken. Please correct this @tim_cook 🙏 https://t.co/VTLJa4Gn0B

This isn’t the first dart that Google has thrown Apple in this regard, but he is the most forceful, having recently stated that “I wish the talented team at Apple could solve this problem”.
Vanesa Hudgens and Carl Pei are among the personalities who have spoken, and Android has also launched a webpage to contribute to this pressure in which it directly names Apple as responsible for resolving the situation on the iPhone.

And that’s it, it’s not just about the colors in which the messages are arranged, but also these protocol differences also influence performance of messages, which makes the experience worse, both on Apple and Android.
