RCS Messaging

RCS Messaging, or Rich Communication Services Messaging, is an advanced multimedia communication protocol designed to enhance traditional SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). It provides users with a more interactive and feature-rich messaging experience that includes capabilities such as text messaging, high-resolution image sharing, audio and video messaging, read receipts, typing indicators, group chats, and location sharing. RCS is intended to work over internet data connections rather than cellular networks, allowing for richer interactions similar to those found in over-the-top messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. RCS is supported by many mobile carriers and devices globally, aiming to standardize and modernize text messaging across platforms.
