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

    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.
