INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The new Pixel 4 phones might be loaded with the latest features and software care of Android 10, but Google is evidently still struggling in
Pixel 4, with Sprint the only clear carrier to support it, 9to5Google reports.SMS has been the standard for text messaging for a long time,
but as far as features go, SMS is from the smartphone stone age
Chat apps like WhatsApp and iMessage have ever increasing feature sets that stack on top of the ability to send basic text messages
as it brings many of the features of other messaging apps while still going through carriers
IT has even aimed to use its own servers for this to cut out the carrier middleman.There are a few reasons why RCS might not be here yet
For one, Google's Pixel phones have previously not been widely available from mobile carriers in the US
T-Mobile and Verizon aren't supporting RCS on the Pixel 4 yet
Verizon had previously allowed for RCS messaging on Pixel 3 phones, but that didn't come at the launch of the phone
Verizon also added support for the Samsung Galaxy S9
be more of a long-shot, as the carrier has its own Advanced Messaging service that offers a similar feature-set.So, for Pixel 4 users and
Android users in general looking to take advantage of RCS's feature, it may be time to take a look at some other messaging apps.
