RCS chats, short for Rich Communication Services (RCS) chats, provide an enhanced messaging experience with advanced features that go beyond traditional SMS and MMS.
With RCS chats, you can see when someone is typing, receive read receipts that show when a message has been delivered or read, and send messages over both mobile data and Wi-Fi. Additionally, RCS allows you to share files, videos, and high-resolution photos, ensuring superior quality compared to standard messaging services.
RCS chats rely on the Rich Communication Services (RCS) protocol to securely transmit messages over mobile data and Wi-Fi. However, for RCS features to work, all participants in a conversation must have RCS enabled on their devices. This service is provided either by Google or your mobile carrier, depending on your country/region and service provider.
