RCS Update - Good News

[iar1980]

Good News as Google will be rolling out RCS to all Android users in the UK this month. Even though Vodafone has had RCS for a while this is good news as will be able to communicate with Android users on other carriers via RCS

I'm sure this will be of great use to many and my personal opinion is many stick with iPhones as they like iMessage and Facetime and as such if this pans out the move from iOS to android would be a much easier process from one ecosystem to another @iar1980

Dumb question for you all

Many people saw RCS as the devil and problematic when first seen on devices like the Huawei ascend P6 and the Samsung galaxy S2 due to battery drain and data wastage years back. 

Has it improved and also why should we use it ( I'm not sure of it's benefits so please enlighten me)
