Google has begun testing responses to messages sent from iPhone to Android.
Previous versions of Google Messages apps were introduced by iPhone apps. But it appears that this was not possible, as Apple does not and will not include the RCS standard, which is supposed to replace SMS.
However, Google solved this problem without Apple. Google Messages users can now respond with emoji to messages sent from iPhone. On the iPhone, instead of emoji, one of the characteristic features will be displayed, which is similar in meaning to the sent emoticon.
