RCS, which stands for Rich Communication System, is a new universal standard for carrier messaging approved by the GSMA as part of its Universal Profile.  RCS brings significant enhancements for messaging on Android platforms such as being able to send pictures or videos up to 105mb, being able to see if users have read your message, and typing indicators that show when someone is typing back to you.
