Cloud Communications Terminology

Rich Communication Services | RCS

 Rich Communication Services is a form of text messaging like SMS and MMS but offers a wider range of capabilities that make interactions richer, more dynamic, and more informative, including rich media messaging, interactive elements, verified branding, read receipts and typing indicators, and more. Like SMS/MMS messages, RCS messages are delivered to a device’s default messaging app.

Long a feature of Android phones, RCS will expand quickly now that it works on iPhones with iOS 18+.
