Understanding RCS

What is RCS Business Messaging?

RCS (Rich Communication Services) is Google's official upgrade to SMS — it turns a plain text thread into a branded, app-like conversation that opens natively in Android Messages, with no download or opt-in app required from the recipient.

Google-Verified Sender

Every message carries your verified brand name and logo, so recipients see exactly who's messaging them and spoofed senders can't impersonate you.

Rich Cards & Carousels

Swap plain text for swipeable image carousels, product cards, and buttons that turn a message into a mini storefront.

Interactive Quick Replies

Tappable quick-reply and call-to-action buttons let customers respond, browse, or act without typing a single word.

Secure OTP Delivery

One-time passcodes and authentication codes arrive inside a verified, branded bubble that's far harder to spoof than SMS.

Automatic SMS Fallback

If a device or carrier doesn't support RCS, the message silently falls back to SMS so delivery is never blocked.

Higher Engagement

Rich, branded formatting consistently drives significantly higher click-through and read rates than plain-text SMS.

No App Install Needed

Messages open in the Android Messages app every recipient already has — there's nothing new to download or approve.

Built-In Read Receipts

Delivered, read, and typing indicators give you real visibility into how customers are engaging with every message.

Platform Features

Everything your RCS channel needs

A complete toolkit for sending rich, branded, and interactive messages at scale — with SMS always there as a safety net.

How It Works

From send to reply in five steps

Every RCS message is checked, formatted, and routed automatically, so a rich experience reaches every recipient one way or another.

//01

Message Is Queued

A rich card, carousel, or text message is built and queued for delivery through the WALOOP platform.

//02

Device Capability Checked

The platform checks in real time whether the recipient's device and carrier support RCS.

//03

Rich Message Delivered

If RCS is supported, the branded card, carousel, or buttons render natively inside Android Messages.

//04

SMS Fallback if Needed

If RCS isn't available, the message automatically falls back to standard SMS with no manual intervention.

//05

Engagement Tracked

Delivery, read status, taps, and replies flow back into your dashboard in real time for every send.
