Wear OS watches might soon be able to send RCS messages without your phone's help
Briefly

Google has been advocating for Apple to implement RCS messaging, yet even after Apple’s tentative acceptance, Google continued to mock them while it should focus on its own issues.

With this expected update, Wear OS LTE smartwatches will likely be capable of sending not only standard messages but also voice messages, enhancing their functionality.
Although this update promises to improve RCS messaging on LTE smartwatches, it remains uncertain whether non-LTE watches can leverage RCS if disconnected from their associated phones.
