Google provides RCS messages for Android users
Google announced that it will intervene to help boost the adoption of next-generation SMS technology (RCS), or the rich messaging service for Android users in some countries in the coming months. As the adoption of this technology continues to slow around the world.
With Google ready to take charge of itself, the search giant will provide RCS services to Android users in the UK and France later in June, giving users the option of subscribing through messaging on the platform.
Over the past two years, Google has taken on the task of helping telecom companies develop next-generation SMS (RCS).
To operate, the service needs each individual operator to decide on the functionality and compatible devices, but the policies and rules of telecom operators have made progress on RCS adoption slow.
Android users in the UK and France will be able to subscribe to Google's RCS service instead of waiting for support from the telecoms company, which is often slow and requires updates.

Instead of relying on a central server – as with the application (iMessage) From Apple – the Android messaging application sends queries to each participant in the chat; to find out Support It has a service (RCS).
Google intends to pass messages through its servers and delete them as soon as they are delivered, so this is a non-centralized approach that does not require support from the network operator.
The vulnerability of the RCS service is still not fully encrypted, so the intruder can read messages and is associated with a telephone number such as regular text messages, limiting the ability to chat from non-phone devices, iMessage, .
There is no centralized database to know who uses the service and how. When dealing with RCS, Google needs to temporarily keep the attached files, as well as data such as the phone number and IMSI.
The company said it was committed to finding a safe chat solution but had no timetable for bringing chat technology to other countries.
