Google has announced a new partnership with RapidSOS that will allow users to send RCS messages to 911 in areas with text-to-911 capabilities. This feature will be available through Google Messages starting later this year, during the winter. RCS messaging offers benefits such as delivery confirmation and response indicators, the ability to share precise location information, and the option to send high-resolution photos and videos. Google is working with industry partners to expand RCS to 911 services and aims to make it the standard for emergency messaging. The rollout of this new feature is expected to provide an additional method of safety communication to users in emergency situations.
