Is Samsung starting to deploy cross-carrier (google) RCS on Samsung Messages?

My note 10 plus is the uk unlocked 4G version that has the chat feature which I am surprised about because RCS hasn't been a big thing over here like it is in the US

Actually RCS isn't big here in the US either (yet). I have over 100 txt chats going, and last time I checked I only saw 2 with chat features, and I guarantee they don't even know they have it. I don't think most people notice or even care.

Really? Wow, maybe it should be advertised more to get more interest in it

I too did some research on this and Samsung is backing Google on rolling out RCS. I've noticed that I have RCS with specific contacts who either have it enabled on their Google device or who have a Samsung device. It was very exciting - and confusing, at first - when I saw the "delivered" and "read" notifications pop up.

Most people in the US don't really care about that kind of stuff. Send a video to grandma? Meh, I'll just Skype or Face Time with her.

RCS was rolled out in the UK and France last summer as a test. We got it months before the USA.

Me too.

Until iPhones get it, I certainly have little interest in it. I can literally only think of one person I text who is not on an iPhone.

I have mixed friends and family on iPhones and Android some text regular other through soc media and even my iPhone x when I text other iPhone users they have read receipts off lol defeats that so I leave mine off on iMessage also ..

It's doubtful to me if Apple is gonna support RCS. They really have no reason to.

I agree ..

 

[msm0511]

I agree ..

If carriers completely turn off regular SMS once they get their version of RCS out is the only reason I can see Apple caring about supporting it.

I don't see that even changing Apple's mind .

Yes your right the UK and France did get the initial roll out in the summer but that was only on Google messages and for certain carriers, I never had it on my note until I upgraded to android 10 a couple of days ago.

If SMS/MMS goes away, I cannot see Apple not supporting RCS. Only way I'd see them not supporting it is if they made iMessage available to Android, and I see that as much less likely. Personally I just wish everybody used WhatsApp in the US like they do in Europe.

We see what happens .

Just can't see them telling their users they're no longer going to be able to text their friends with Androids.

I agree there , I'm talking about RCA chat kicking off on Android if apple will do this with Google to support it .
