What’s RCS?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

SMS is “texting”. The same shit that has been around since cell phones.

Think of iMessage, Discord, WhatsApp, etc. as RCS or “messaging”

When Android and iOS text each other, it all sends as SMS. That means no read/delivery receipts, low quality picture/video messaging, no typing indicators, no encryption, etc.

So even without RCS today, how are my android friends able to react in our sms chat with iPhone users?
