We don’t know how long it will take, but there’s now some hope.

Google Voice is laying the groundwork for RCS chats

Recent updates to the Google Voice app suggest the platform may soon support RCS messaging. Currently, Google Voice exclusively supports traditional SMS and MMS across all plans, unlike some of Google’s own applications. Despite this limitation, Google Voice is reportedly being prepared for RCS messaging, according to exclusive reports.

Users of the popular VoIP app are presently restricted to standard SMS and MMS, a significant gap considering the widespread RCS messaging support in apps like Google Messages. It appears that Google may be addressing this discrepancy in an upcoming update. This is a significant development for Google Voice, as it seeks to offer richer communication experiences to its users.
