iPhones and Android smartphones started to play more nicely together after Apple finally opted to support the Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard. Prior to this, messages between the two platforms had to use the ancient and insecure text messaging service. Not all RCS features are supported as yet, with the all-important strong encryption waiting for RCS 3.0 support in iOS 26.

Gemini on Android can be used like a good old digital assistant to send text messages to one of your contacts. Once Gemini accepts the command, i

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR To take full advantage of RCS messaging features, everyone in the chat needs to have RCS enabled. Google Messages is working on a feature that would prompt you to send friends without RCS a message asking them to turn it on. Messaging on Android is better than it’s ever been, and a big part of that is due to the arrival of Rich Communication Services (RCS) support. While that’s absolutely helped start pulling down some of the walls between Android and
