What is RCS? Why brands are embracing it?

RCS is the next evolution of messaging. It upgrades traditional SMS and RMS text messages into richer, more interactive experiences inside the phone’s native messaging app. With RCS, brands can send images, carousels, suggested replies, file attachments, and one-tap actions that help customers quickly explore information or take the next steps.

RCS also brings experiences people expect from modern messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram, including read receipts, typing indicators, emojis, and richer media. Because it works directly within the phone’s messaging app and is supported by many devices and carriers worldwide, RCS allows brands to reach a broad audience while delivering more engaging messages.
