  • Google Messages could start changing your old MMS group chats to RCS.
  • Strings of code suggest users will be able to send sharper photos and videos with reactions.
  • Two flags need to be activated to enable the feature for now.

After years of being hassled about it, Apple is finally adding RCS to iMessage. Now Google is taking the opportunity to update old cross-platform chats to RCS.

If you participated in a group chat that had both iPhone and Android users, then the entire conversation was converted into SMS and MMS. But strings of code found in the Google Messages app (version messages.android_20240702_01_RC00.phone_samsung_openbeta_dynamic) suggest these old conversations will be transformed into RCS.
