Learn everything you need to know about RCS messaging.

What is RCS?

RCS (Rich Communication Services) is an advanced messaging protocol that allows you to send rich media, including high-quality images, videos, and audio, within text messages.

Unlike traditional SMS, RCS messages are sent from a branded business profile rather than a phone number. This profile can include your business name, description, contact details, website, privacy policy, and terms of service.

RCS is ideal for businesses that use messaging for promotions, customer engagement, and rich communication experiences.

What devices support RCS?

RCS is supported on most Android devices through the Google Messages app and is available with most major mobile carriers. This means many Android users can access enhanced messaging features.

iOS Devices

As of iOS 18, Apple supports RCS. However, availability depends on the country and mobile carrier.

RCS messaging is supported in many regions worldwide.

To confirm availability in your country, contact the DialLink support team.
