RCS stands for "Rich Communication Service" and was developed as a replacement for the classic SMS and as a competing product against WhatsApp and Threema. However, RCS has not really succeeded so far, so that only few users make use of it.
On the Samsung Galaxy S20, the RCS service is active ex works, but can be deactivated by the user. Here we would like to explain how to disable the RCS service in Android.
