    When you use an app like Whatsapp, if you try to send a message witbout internet, it gets queued until you get internet.

    With RCS, if it fails, it doesn’t get queued, it automatically falls back to SMS/MMS, which is how they got those stats.

    I mean, I’d say a majority of messages send on 3rd party platforms in developing countries are probably “sent” while offline, but only actually gets delivered when they are on wifi.

    If this were RCS, they would’ve just get converted to become SMS/MMS, which is how those statistics came to be. RCS that gets downgraded will never count as using RCS.
