Frequently Asked Questions

What is RCS in business messaging?

RCS (Rich Communication Services) in business messaging is a protocol that enables brands to send interactive, branded messages with high-resolution media, action buttons, and verified sender profiles directly in customers’ native messaging apps, enhancing engagement and trust.

What is RCS business messaging on iPhone?

RCS business messaging on iPhone, available with iOS 18.1 or higher, allows businesses to send verified, rich, interactive messages like promotions, appointment reminders, and delivery updates via the Messages app, but requires carrier support.

Should I have RCS on or off?

Keep RCS on for richer messaging features like high-quality media, read receipts, and interactive elements if your carrier and device support it; turn it off if you prioritize simplicity, universal compatibility, or have concerns about non-encrypted messages.

Why is RCS so important?

RCS is important because it offers advanced features like verified, branded messaging, high-resolution media, and real-time indicators, driving higher engagement rates for businesses and seamless cross-platform texting for users, bridging the gap between iOS and Android.

What does RCS mean in texting?

RCS stands for Rich Communication Services, a modern texting protocol that supports high-resolution media, read receipts, typing indicators, and group chats, providing an app-like experience in native messaging apps.

What's the difference between RCS and SMS texting?

RCS texting offers rich features like high-quality media, interactive buttons, and read receipts over data/Wi-Fi, while SMS is limited to 160-character text-only messages sent via cellular networks, lacking encryption and advanced functionality.
