It turns out that Android phone users can rename group chats for all participating iPhone owners thanks to RCS.

Honestly it's kind of annoying. I want to name the chat after their relationship to me. Coming up with something that we all have in common with each other is a lot harder

Yeah, I have the same issue with WhatsApp. I have a group with my wife and parents that my parents just called myfirstname/wifefirstname, which makes no sense to us (on our end we'd like to call it 'jonne's parents' or whatever).

Same with any other group chat we'd like to start that includes a tradie or whatever.

I'm sure it's fun for your average plumber to have 50 different group chats with clients that are all called 'plumber'.

On the other hand though it is nice to have a common name. Like I'm in a group with the other parents of kids at my kid's daycare. Sometimes you want the name to be common, sometimes you want it to be individual.

What does the name being common in that case get you that individual doesn't? The only thing I can think of is not having to take the trouble to name it yourself, which is such a minor thing.

Like when new people join, they know they're in the right place

A default group name, which can be changed individually would be great.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or just have a common name, but allow people to put in a group nickname that only applies to them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Agreed. That's even better.
