Samsung is one of the first major device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to support RCS.

Google's Jibe Cloud platform is an implementation of the RCS Universal Profile, designed to help carriers launch RCS quickly and scale easily. 47 mobile network operators, 11 manufacturers, and 2 OS providers (Google and Microsoft) have announced their support. Carriers that deploy the Universal Profile guarantee interconnection with other carriers. The Universal Profile is a single GSMA specification for advanced communications. The GSMA published the Universal Profile in November 2016. The GSMA program is now called Rich Communication Services. Three years later, the RCS project released a new specification – RCS-e (e = 'enhanced'), which included various iterations of the original RCS specifications. The steering committee specified the definition, testing, and integration of the services in the application suite known as RCS. In February 2008 the GSM Association officially became the project home of RCS and an RCS steering committee was established by the organisation. Was formed by a group of industry promoters in 2007. The Rich Communication Suite industry initiative In early 2020, it was estimated that RCS was available from 88 operators in 59 countries with approximately 390 million users per month. It is also marketed as Advanced Messaging, chat features, joyn, SMSoIP, Message+, and SMS+. Google added support for end-to-end encryption for all chats in their own RCS-based app, Messages. It is part of the broader IP Multimedia Subsystem.
