The best part about RCS is that you can use the service even when you don’t have any cell service, as long as you have an internet connection, no matter where in the world you are.Ĭhat features upgrade SMS text messaging so you can send and receive better quality photos and videos, chat over Wi-Fi or data, know when your message is read, share reactions, and enjoy more dynamic and engaging group chats.Īnd while it’s not available to everyone today, Google is beginning to beta test E2E encryption. You’ll also get more enhanced features such as read receipts and much-improved group chats. RCS is a massive upgrade from standard text messaging as it works over Wi-Fi or cellular data and allows for better quality when sending pictures or videos. The even bigger news is that the company is working on adding end-to-end (E2E) encryption to the service, albeit in beta form.

Well, that may change soon for Android users as Google has announced that it is rolling out its Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard worldwide. You receive a video sent via standard text messaging and it’s the most pixelated piece of garbage you’ve ever seen.
