What is an RCS Message?

An RCS message is like a super-powered text message that can do much more than just sending words. RCS stands for Rich Communication Services, which is a fancy way of saying that these messages can include pictures, videos, stickers, and even see if someone has read your message.

Imagine sending a regular text message to your friend. You can only send words and maybe a picture if you’re lucky. But with an RCS message, it’s like upgrading from a simple bike to a cool sports car. You can share lots of different things, see when your friend is typing back, and even have group chats that work better.

RCS messages also work through the internet, which means they can send bigger files and more exciting content than a regular text message. But don’t worry, if your friend’s phone doesn’t have RCS, the message will still be delivered as a regular text.

So, RCS messages make chatting more fun and interactive, like combining texting with all the cool features of messaging apps like WhatsApp or Messenger.
