Google today announced that the latest generation of person-to-person mobile messaging is now available for US Android users. We are, of course, talking about “RCS,” or Rich Communication Services, which is often considered the successor to traditional SMS messaging.
RCS messaging supports read receipts, seamless messaging over Wi-Fi, as well as the ability to send and receive high-res photos, videos, and stickers. If that’s not enough, Android’s RCS implementation also brings some extra group communication features, like the ability to add and remove people from conversations or name chats for easier navigation.
