- Google says the RCS messaging standard now has over 800 million users.
- Apple is still the biggest holdout here, falling back to SMS in iMessage instead.
RCS is the successor to the old SMS standard, and Google has been pushing this feature hard over the past few years.
Now, at Google I/O, the company confirmed that over 800 million people now have RCS on their phones. The firm added that the messaging standard is on the way to reaching the billion-user mark by the end of the year.
