Google is continually enhancing its Messages app by adding several new features. Features such as the Gemini AI integration, 3D filters, full-screen effect, dual SIM RCS support, Messaging Layer Security (MLS), etc. are the latest features of Google Messages. The dual SIM RCS support is a much-awaited feature of Google Messages which is now rolling out to beta users in India and other regions.
RCS (Rich Communication Services) in Google Messages has several advantages over the traditional SMS and MMS. It allows users to chat over Wi-Fi or mobile data. RCS chat lets users share better-quality photos and videos, engage in group chats, know when someone is typing, and share reactions. It will also show message read receipts.
