Google SVP Hiroshi Lockheimer says AT&T's default Android messaging will now use the Jibe platform, “so their users will get the latest RCS features instantly”
The carrier is the first to get advanced text message features from Google's platform, rather than just using its Messages app.

Today I'm excited to share that we're working with AT&T to accelerate adoption of the RCS standard, and that AT&T's default Android messaging will now be via the Jibe platform, so their users will get the latest RCS features instantly.

At I/O, we announced more than 800M people are currently using RCS, and we expect to hit 1B by the end of the year. Adopting modern messaging standards helps bring us all closer together and improves user privacy.
