RCS adoption crossed a critical threshold in 2024 when Apple added native support in iOS 18. Combined with Android’s long-standing support, RCS capability is now present across the overwhelming majority of the US smartphone market. Businesses that implement RCS now gain a competitive advantage in customer engagement.
Your business logo, brand colors, and verification badge display directly in the messaging interface — establishing immediate credibility and recognition.
Studies show RCS messages achieve up to 35% higher engagement than traditional SMS. Interactive elements make it easier for customers to take action.
Read receipts, typing indicators, and detailed engagement metrics give visibility into customer interactions that SMS never provided.
Guide customers through purchases, appointments, and support processes with interactive menus and conversational flows — zero redirect friction.
Transitioning from SMS to RCS doesn’t require choosing one over the other. TextingOnly’s platform supports both simultaneously — allowing businesses to gradually implement RCS capabilities while maintaining SMS functionality for non-compatible devices with 100% message delivery across your entire audience.
