Samsung has decided to drop its stock Messages app in order to encourage the adoption of Rich Communication Services (RCS). The move comes as part of Samsung’s efforts to push for the widespread use of RCS, which offers enhanced messaging capabilities compared to traditional SMS. By ditching its own messaging app, Samsung is hoping to drive more users towards RCS technology, which allows for features like read receipts, typing indicators, and high-quality image sharing. This decision is seen as a strategic move by Samsung to support the advancement of RCS in the telecommunications industry.
