Google has started rolling out the new icons it is using for the Google Messages (RCS) platform to denote a message that has been delivered and read.
. RCS, or Rich Communication Services, is the Android equivalent of Apple's iMessage platform. With RCS there are no character limits, higher quality image, and video files can be shared, messages are sent with end-to-end encryption, users receive a read receipt when a message they sent has been read by the recipient, and a typing indicator appears when a reply is being typed by the recipient.
Once the message was read, the sender would see the word"read" under his message. This obviously allowed a user to know whether his missive was indeed received by the recipient, and more importantly, whether the message was read.has changed this and as we noted last month, it had been testing the use of a checkmark system similar to what WhatsApp uses. When a message has been sent, underneath it, you'll now see a small circle with a single checkmark inside it.
