With Samsung adopting proper RCS support and companies like Verizon even getting their unsurprisingly-janky messaging apps to work with RCS, we should be in a good spot early in 2022 to declare the true arrival of RCS and the slow demise of SMS. Regardless of what you think about the matter, the fact is most people tend to use whatever is on their phone from the get-go.

Now that we have all the major US carriers on board (as least starting in 2022 when Verizon actually puts this all into practice), all Android users moving forward will have Google Messages installed on their phones as the default SMS/RCS app right out of the box. Messages by Google will be preloaded, starting next year, on all Verizon Android devices, enabling consumers to enjoy rich messaging features, such as sending and receiving higher-quality photos and videos, chatting over Wi-Fi or data, knowing when your message is read, enjoying more dynamic and engaging group chats, and securely chatting with other Messages users in available one-on-one conversations with end-to-end encryption. For over 3 years now, Google has been trudging through the transition over to RCS and after trying to get carriers on board, they took it upon themselves to offer RCS Chat messages to any user that installed Google Messages as their texting app of choice, regardless of the carrier’s opinions on the matter. As the last carrier to do so, they solidify the long-awaited move to RCS as the dominant messaging platform across carriers in the US for non-Apple devices. Joining AT&T and T-Mobile, Verizon has officially announced that it will make Google Messages the default SMS/RCS messaging client on all their Android phones.
