Google has announced that AT&T's default messaging will now be handled by the Jibe platform which means that users will get to access RCS.
) reveals that AT&T's default messaging app will now use the Jibe platform allowing AT&T's Android users to have access to Rich Communication Service features immediately. RCS is the messaging service used on the Messages by Google app and offers many of the same features that iMessage offers iOS users. Like iMessage, these extra RCS features only work when an RCS user is messaging another RCS user or during a group chat where everyone is using RCS.
Also similar to iMessage, RCS users get end-to-end encryption, higher-quality images, a larger character cap for messages, read receipts, typing indicators, and more. Platforms like RCS and iMessage use data networks instead of the cellular networks used by SMS/MMS messaging. The tweet from Lockheimer means that AT&T's default messaging app now uses the Jibe platform.
