Google Fi gets RCS chat, to roll out faster 4G LTE speeds in 33 more countries

Google has announced that it is upgrading default messaging on eligible phones to RCS on Project Fi. In the coming weeks, all compatible phones designed for Fi will get faster data coverage in more places around the world. Google says that with RCS in Messages, you can do and share more when you message friends, family members, groups, and even businesses who are on RCS. You’ll be able to see typing indicators and read receipts, share high-resolution videos, and message over Wi-Fi or data with others that have RCS enabled. RCS will be available on phones designed for Fi and compatible Android phones. If you’re using a phone designed for Fi, RCS will be automatically enabled. If you’re on a compatible Android phone, you’ll need to download Messages and set it as your default messaging app. Google also announced that in the next few weeks, it will upgrade 33 of these countries to faster 4G LTE coverage on phones designed for Fi.
