RCS, WhatsApp, Messenger: rich messaging is the future of business messaging

Rich messaging is a catchall title for next generation messaging apps, which allow you to exchange images and video content, include buttons, activate chatbots and much more. We’re particularly excited by RCS’ potential, as it doesn’t require a download – it’s going to replace SMS as the default messaging app on Androids over time.
