Samsung and Google Greet the New Stage to Promote RCS for Seamless Cross-Platform Messaging

Samsung joined hands with Google to promote cross-platform messaging that helps them adopt RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standards to offer much improved messaging while taking a step beyond the Android ecosystem for wider adoption when messaging cross-platform for a seamless and connected messaging experience.

For years, Google and Samsung have worked together to elevate new possibilities that open the doors of an improved messaging experience to utilize RCS as a universal messaging standard via enhanced security features. 

Now, with the latest version of iOS 18.1, Apple introduces support for RCS messaging standards that will significantly benefit users while having cross-platform messaging between the Android and iOS ecosystems. With RCS, both Samsung and Google aim to promote a seamless messaging experience that will allow users to enter into a generation of rich yet fast messaging norms.

Meanwhile, users will get three significant advantages when messaging from the Android ecosystem to iOS devices. These features include high-resolution media sharing that allows users to send and receive images and videos in full resolution across Android and iOS devices; reactions to texts that allow users to react to a message with an emoji; and finally, the ability to add or remove users in group chats no matter if they use Android or iOS devices. 

Moreover, the RCS standard is rapidly becoming a modern messaging norm that will enhance communications for the users to promote a more connected experience when messaging from the Android ecosystem to the iOS one. In contrast, while Google surprised users by introducing Android 16’s first developer preview, Samsung’s One UI 7 beta is still awaited.
