What is RCS?

RCS (Rich Communication Services) is a communication protocol between mobile telephone carriers and between phones, aiming to replace SMS messages with a richer text-message experience. It supports features like read receipts, typing indicators, high-resolution image and video sharing, and group chats, similar to modern messaging apps. It is commonly used to enhance standard text messaging with more interactive and multimedia capabilities.
