The rollout of RCS messaging began with a collaboration between Google and Samsung, but today the technology is supported by a wide range of smartphone brands and models.
RCS (Rich Communication Services) works in a similar way to apps like WhatsApp, as it relies on a user’s mobile data or Wi-Fi connection instead of traditional SMS. To function properly on Android devices, RCS requires support from the mobile carrier, the device itself, and the messaging app being used. On the receiver’s side, their device, network, and operating system must also support RCS — otherwise, the message will automatically fall back to standard SMS.
The technology is powered by the Universal Profile, a global standard created to ensure consistency, simplify development, and support worldwide adoption of RCS.
For users with compatible smartphones, such as Samsung devices running Google’s Messages app, enabling RCS is simple. Just open the app, follow the on-screen instructions, and you’re ready to start sending rich, interactive messages.
