What is RCS and why is it important for iPhone users?
RCS (Rich Communication Services) is a messaging protocol that allows for features such as high-quality media sharing, read receipts, and typing indicators. It is important for iPhone users because it will improve the messaging experience with Android users, bringing features that were previously exclusive to iMessage. This will make communication between iPhone and Android users more seamless and enjoyable.
