Another way to quickly identify the type of messages you're sending is by the color of the text bubble. If the box says "Chat message" then the conversation will have typing indicators, read receipts, and the rest of the features that RCS Messaging offers. The easiest way to tell if a conversation is using old-fashioned text messaging or the new chat features is to look at the text box before you start typing. The iOS 16 Developer Beta appears to be supporting a similar translation for reactions sent over SMS. In the meantime, Google has improved its Messages app to correctly display reaction icons sent by Apple's phones instead of showing a text describing who "Liked" your message. But despite Google's campaign, the chances of Apple supporting RCS appear bleak. RCS now has the support of the three major US carriers with Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T committing to make Google's Messages app the default on Android phones sold by the carriers. These include typing indicators, encryption and higher-quality photo and video sharing. Google's Messages app is now the default texting app for most Android phones, and the RCS standard allows for features that are similar to Apple's iMessage without requiring a specific type of phone or setting up a third-party texting app.
While RCS-powered texting is currently only available on Android phones, Google reported in May that there are now half a billion people actively using the standard in its Messages app.
