Google Messages is closing in on RCS video call support

Google Messages is inching closer to offering native video call support through the Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard, according to recent developments. While the feature is still not available, new evidence suggests that Google has been making strides in this direction. The introduction of RCS has significantly transformed the messaging experience on Android devices, modernizing features that users have come to expect from text messaging. Moreover, RCS has helped to level the playing field between Android and iOS platforms.

RCS is not limited to a single functionality, and its potential for growth continues to expand. Although the arrival of the standard has already proven beneficial, there remains anticipation for further enhancements. One such sought-after upgrade is the support for RCS video calls, and this week, there are indications of progress in Google Messages.
