Samsung is broadening its RCS efforts following the acquisition of NewNet Communication Technologies last November. Its RCS messaging service, which is based on a solution from NewNet, will be available on its smartphones running Android Marshmallow or above from an unspecified date in the future.

RCS messaging allows users to participate in group chats, see “message read” receipts, conduct video calls and more without requiring any additional app.

I've received ads via RCS and blocked a bunch of chat bots.

  • According to Google, Indian businesses are abusing an RCS feature to deliver promotional messages.
  • The company told Android Authority that it has temporarily disabled the feature in India.
  • The move will not affect end-users or change RCS functionality in other markets.

 
Apple turns texts between iPhones and Android phones into SMS and MMS, out-of-date technologies from the 90s and 00s. But Apple can adopt RCS—the modern industry standard—for these threads instead. Solving the problem without changing your iPhone to iPhone conversations and making messaging better for everyone.
