RCS Messaging Arrives for Android, Coming Soon to iPhones

SMS is getting an upgrade. Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging is taking hold on Android phones, offering features similar to popular apps like WhatsApp.

RCS allows users to see typing indicators, send read receipts, share locations, and enjoy higher-quality photo sharing in chats. While currently available on Android, iPhone users can expect to see RCS compatibility later in 2024. This shift promises a richer texting experience for all smartphone users.
