Rich Communication Services is a messaging standard that upgrades SMS with richer content such as images, cards, buttons and carousels.
A rich card is an RCS message layout that includes an image, title, description and optional actions like buttons or suggested replies.
A carousel is a collection of multiple rich cards displayed in a horizontal strip that users can swipe through inside an RCS conversation.
A suggested reply is a tappable chip that inserts predefined text into the message composer so the user can respond with one tap.
A suggested action is a tappable chip that triggers a specific action, for example opening a URL, dialing a phone number or starting a map or app.
