RCS will offer better interoperability for cross-platform messages and includes features like read receipts, typing indicators, high-quality media sharing, and location sharing. iMessage will continue as the messaging platform for iPhone users, while RCS will replace SMS and MMS as a separate feature available to iPhone users.
