Rich communication services is a protocol between both mobile operators and phones. The purpose of RCS is to replace SMS and MMS messaging.
RCS is very much like Whatsapp where live chats can take place, which includes multi-media support using the data network. It is a rival to Apple's iMessage service, although there are some subtle differences between how these services operate.
RCS has been widely supported by mobile phone networks, software, and devices. It's supported by the stock google messages app available on Android.
