Sinch sends millions of RCS business messages each month, helping brands like EasyPark and Micromania-Zing in EMEA, delivery companies in the North America, and banks across Latin America and India.  Sinch’s solutions are helping these organizations leverage RCS to improve their messaging capabilities, driving better customer engagement and satisfaction.

The release of iOS 18, which introduces RCS support in select markets, marks a

pivotal moment for the growth of RCS.  This development brings a more united and seamless messaging experience between Apple and Android devices for consumers, paving the way for RCS Business Messaging (RBM) adoption.  With Apple’s commitment to supporting the RCS Universal 2.4, which includes RBM, the stage is set for broader adoption, providing businesses with a powerful new tool to engage customers through rich, interactive experiences directly in their mobile inbox across a wider range of devices.

Sinch’s innovations in RCS are further evidenced by tools like the Omnichannel Connector on Salesforce AppExchange, which enables Salesforce Marketing Cloud customers to create dynamic, interactive campaigns.

Backed by Sinch’s global super network, strong direct operator connections, and a preferred partnership with Google, the company leads the RCS space and is fully prepared for widespread RCS rollout.
