Do you know that People Still send some 8 trillion texts a year? Yes, you heard it right, in this modern era of Facebook, Whatsapp some people still use SMS.
For these people, we have a great news today.
Google is planning to upgrade the whole default messaging app that was being used for years. Google is building Chat, a texting experience that will replace traditional SMS on Android devices. If You and your contact are rocking Android phones with carriers that support RCS, you’ll enjoy a bunch of modern messaging features when you text them,
such as typing indicators, full-resolution images and video, and even group chats.
You’ll be charged for the data consumed in sending your message, instead of what it’d cost on your plan to send an SMS.
Well, it is very similar to Apple Imessage. But one difference here is that Google Chat is not encrypted like iMesseges. Google managed to partner with some 50+ carriers worldwide and numerous hardware makers to garner support for RCS and make this possible.
Microsoft also supports RCS, so it’s possible that we’ll be able to link our phones to our desktops and text people from Windows 10 machines too.
Well, this can be a great news for people getting into smartphones or those who still uses SMS.
