Let's enable the RCS chat feature to chat for free?
One of the biggest shortcomings of MMS/SMS messaging is end-to-end encryption. But now with Google Messages you get this facility. Not only that, facilities like typing indicators and read receipts are also available through this. Just like WhatsApp. You can chat with another RCS chat enabled phone without spending any money. All you need is internet connection. But the method of activating this facility can be a bit complicated. So follow the video below. As far as is known, currently the ISPs in Sri Lanka support this facility if the internet service providers do not.
3. Scheduled messages
Sometimes we have to send SMS at the right time. For a time like a birthday or celebrating a special event. Most of the time we have to wait until the right time to send such an SMS. For example, like staying till 12 midnight to wish a happy birthday. It would be much easier for us if we could schedule the SMS to the relevant people at the relevant time without staying awake like this. This facility can already be seen in Google Messages.
1. Type the text you want to send in the chatbox.
2. Tap the Send button once and keep clicking without letting go.
