{"id":842,"count":15,"description":"<h1>Google brings the RCS system that allows you to send SMS 2.0 with images and multimedia content. Take the challenge on WhatsApp.<\/h1>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe challenge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/\">Google<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/\">Whatsapp<\/a> has arrived: these days the Mountain View company and telephone operators are also activating the RCS system in the Bel Paese. What is it about? Acronym of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rich_Communication_Services\">Rich Communication Service<\/a>, is a new system that allows you to send so-called SMS 2.0: text messages enriched with <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Graphics_Interchange_Format\">GIF<\/a>, images, videos and any type of multimedia content. The arrival of the RCS system was highly anticipated and can open up very fascinating market opportunities: it is perfectly integrated into the Messages app <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/\">Google .<\/a> Allows you to activate extra features, such as the notification of reading a message. Text messages are sent over the data network and not over the normal network. If you are wondering if it is a &quot;copy&quot; of WhatsApp, the answer is &quot;not really&quot;. In Google&#039;s plans, the Messages app will become the alter ego of the app <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/it-it\/HT207006\">iMessage<\/a>Here&#039;s how SMS 2.0 works and how to activate it on your Android smartphone. What is the Rich Communication Service system? It&#039;s active in the United States and some European countries. The RCS system is a new standard developed by Google to enhance traditional SMS. Currently, it&#039;s only active on Android smartphones, and for it to work optimally, there must be an agreement between mobile operators and the Mountain View company.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16253\" title=\"Google Sms 2.0\" src=\"https:\/\/sendapp.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sms-google-whatsapp-300x171.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"438\" \/>\r\n\r\nWhat are the characteristics of SMS 2.0? In many ways, they are identical to the messages we send every day on apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/sendapp.live\/en\/2020\/01\/14\/free-whatsapp-bulk-sender\/?preview_id=8108&amp;preview_nonce=16b69a0114&amp;post_format=standard&amp;_thumbnail_id=475&amp;preview=true\">Whatsapp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/desktop.telegram.org\/\">Telegram<\/a>, iMessage and Direct Messages from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/\">Instagram<\/a>The only peculiarity is that they only work on the Google Messages app, which is present on every Android smartphone. SMS 2.0 allows you to send multimedia content, create groups, and check whether others have read your chat messages. Google initially intended to launch a new messaging app with the RCS system built in, but ultimately opted to enhance the Messages app as much as possible. Google&#039;s ultimate goal is for Messages to become the messaging app used by all Android users, similar to iMessage in the iPhone world. How the RCS system and SMS 2.0 work SMS 2.0 and the Rich Communication Service work very simply: messages are not sent over the &quot;normal&quot; network, but rather using Wi-Fi or the mobile data network. This allows messages to be enriched with multimedia content, such as high-quality images and GIFs. SMS 2.0 also has other features typical of messaging apps, such as the ability to create groups, see when someone is typing, or check if the recipient has read the message. How do you activate SMS 2.0? There&#039;s no magic button that allows you to activate the RCS standard and start using SMS 2.0. Activation in the Messages app is currently being done by various telephone operators, and the only thing to do is wait. To check, open the Messages app, tap the three-dot icon in the top right, and then tap Settings. From the new tab that opens, select &quot;Chat Features.&quot; If the text &quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/messages\/answer\/7189714?hl=it\">Chat functionality<\/a> Not available for this device. Your carrier doesn&#039;t currently support this feature,&quot; then you&#039;ll have to wait a few more days. If, however, some settings appear on your smartphone that need to be activated or deactivated, such as &quot;Enable chat features&quot; or &quot;Send read receipts,&quot; then it means you can start using SMS 2.0, Google&#039;s alternative to WhatsApp. In some cases, the Messages app may ask you to use the new features via<a href=\"https:\/\/jibe.google.com\/\"> Jibe Mobile<\/a> and to keep the application connected to the data network or Wi-Fi.","link":"https:\/\/sendapp.live\/en\/tag\/sms-2-0\/","name":"SMS 2.0","slug":"sms-2-0","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SMS 2.0 Archivi - SendApp - Software Whatsapp Marketing<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Google porta il sistema RCS che permette di inviare SMS 2.0 con immagini e contenuti multimediali.
