As predicted,ass fucking movies Android is stepping up its messaging game to be on the same page as Apple's iMessage and Facebook Messenger.
Google's upgrading its messaging offering with Chat, and it's the latest, and hopefully best effort by the tech giant to simplify messaging on Android.
SEE ALSO: Snapchat is testing a new 'tabs' layout to make navigation easierAs revealed by The Verge, Chat is a rich communication service (RCS) that Google has been working with the industry on driving adoption.
It's not a new app, but rather a label for RCS. It'll add features like read receipts, being able to see other people typing, full-resolution images and video, and group texting.
As with other RCS services like iMessage, the message will be converted into an SMS/MMS if the recipient doesn't have RCS. Of course, that means you'll be charged for an SMS/MMS, whereas a Chat message merely deducts from your data plan.
It's unclear if Apple will support Chat, but there is pressure for it do so. Unlike iMessage or Signal, Chat will not feature end-to-end encryption — leaving your message open to legal interception.
Chat is the successor to the seemingly umpteen messaging solutions Google has cooked up for Android, including Google Plus, Hangouts, Allo, Duo and Android Messages. The latest of these, Allo, will have work on it "paused" as Chat is set to be rolled out.
55 carriers, 11 manufacturers, and two operating system makers (Google and Microsoft) have signed up to Chat so far.
Mashable has contacted Google for more information on Chat's release.
