While sole SMS texting uses your mobile carrier’s network, RCS messaging is done over WiFi or mobile data, which lends itself to being able to send larger files and receive information and media quicker than SMS. This means that the chances are high you’ll find another Android user using the RCS standard on their device. Since RCS’s adoption by Google in 2016 for Android, more carriers hopped on board to support the standard along with their SMS services. This means if an iPhone user texts an Android user, the timed-out SMS messaging protocol will be in use. Unfortunately, it seems that for the time being, only Android users will be able to take advantage of RCS messaging between one another. Of course, Apple already has iMessage for the iPhone, which incorporates a different protocol in order to enhance messaging between users. Think of RCS messaging as “smart” texting. For instance, with RCS on Google Messages, you don’t have to worry about character count limit or sending downright awful quality photos. RCS stands for Rich Communications Services and is a standard used by Google in order to provide messaging services that can handle a lot more than your standard texts.
