The idea behind Rich Communication Services (RCS) was to create an Android equivalent to Apples iMessage.
In short, it would make texting more like using an instant messenger.
At that point, is it even worth it?

Lack of Care
If youve never heard ofRCS texting, you arent alone.
Currently, RCS is only available in the Samsung Messages app and the Google Messages app.
T-Mobile also acquired Sprint during this time, bringing the four networks involved down to three.
With it, you might send higher-quality images, take part in video calls, and more.
These systems are more secure than traditional texting applications and dont cost anything extra for features like end-to-end encryption.
