Rogers’ OS upgrade schedule indicates that the carrier is bringing native Google’s ‘Rich Communication Service‘ (RCS) support to Samsung Messages with the Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10e.
The page also cites Note 8 as getting the same Samsung Messages support, but strangely not the Note 9 or the Note 10/10+, which launched just last week — at least not yet.
This means that S10 series and Note 8 users will soon start seeing RCS features like RCS read receipts, typing indicators, group chats and also now have the ability to send messages over Wi-Fi and data when a cellular connection is not available.
Last week RCS came to Telus, Koodo and Public Mobile on Google’s Pixel 2, 2XL, 3 and 3XL.
