Background of RCS
Rich Communication Service is initially a GSM Association initiative to replace SMS & MMS. In 2016, Google created huge momentum for the channel by buying Jibe, an RCS service platform. It consists of a universal standard internet-based messaging system defined by mobile operators and handset manufacturers.
Currently it is only available for Android.
