Google will boost rcs messaging without the help of operators

Google has been promoting RCS messaging for some time, seeking to be an alternative to options like WhatsApp. Although in this process, the company depends on the operators, which are the ones that have to give support. This is something that is progressing slowly, in Spain only Vodafone gives it. So the company has grown tired of waiting. They bet on being they who drive it, without the help of operators.

Google will boost RCS messaging without the help of operators

This process will begin this month, when in France and the UK RCS is already being supported. So users can use it in the Messages app.

Without operators

Operator support for RCS messaging has been limited so far, especially in Europe. Google hopes that with this decision the operators will end up joining the project and give them the support. Meanwhile, the company will be responsible for providing such support to all Android users who want to use this messaging. It will be used through the Messages app.

In addition, it is expected that in the future there will be more apps that use RCS, so that users choose the one they want to use. The big G does reserve some functions, so that its app is what consumers like the most.

At the moment, only France and the United Kingdom have been mentioned as markets to which this RCS will be launched in June. But Google plans to expand it worldwide. Although this process will surely take a few months. We will see how it progresses and if dates are known soon.
