Google is rebranding the Google Messages app by replacing references to Chat with RCS Chat or RCS messages. Google appears ready to promote RCS.
The Google Messages app is very much like Apple's Messages app, When an Android user sends messages to another Android user employing the Google Messages app, the messages enjoy end-to-end encryption, no limit on character capacity, higher-quality image sharing, read receipts, message indicators, and more. And guess what happens when an iOS user joins the group; all of these lovely features are disabled.
Another issue is that the Google Messages app can be overlooked by those unaware of RCS . Some Android users might use the Messages app connected to their carrier for no reason other than they are unaware what the differences are.

Image credit 9to5Google, in areas of the Messages app where Google used to use the Chat branding, it now mentions RCS. The first item on the app's Settings page now says RCS chats where previously it said Chat features.
Google told 9to5Google that it has started to disseminate the updates necessary for Android users to see the change in branding from Chat to RCS. to the crew in Cupertino from time-to-time in an attempt to get Apple to support RCS and end the green bubble bullying.
