1. Replies and reactions: The RCS update expands the ability for users to reply and react to sent and received messages. It will now be possible to send reactions with emoji or custom images and remove them later. This will standardize the reactions already available in Google Messages and iOS Messages.
2. Edit and delete messages: Users will have the ability to edit, recall and delete messages they have sent. These features will make the messaging experience more flexible and user-friendly, allowing users to correct typos or retract messages sent by mistake.
3. Spam reporting: The update includes a spam reporting feature. Users will be able to report unwanted messages or fraudulent content. These reports will be forwarded to the service provider’s server and necessary actions will be taken.
The new RCS update will provide a smoother and richer communication experience between Android and iPhone users. One of the most notable aspects of the update is the increased messaging functionality and better compatibility between the two platforms. In particular, the standardization of features such as message replying and reacting will make users’ communication processes more effective and efficient.
