RCS Coverage Update GER
Hot off the press. We are just updating our RCS coverage info at www.rcsbusinessmessaging.de and I am glad to see an increase of RCS users during last months, especially with now Apple supporting it and user starts to update to iOS18.
Compared to 44m Whatsapp users we are now closing the gap in active user due to latest Statista numbers (Anzahl der WhatsApp-Nutzer weltweit bis Juni 2024 | Statista)!
Now you can reach 60% of the smartphone users via RCS, and it′s still growing day by day. Everyone updating onto iOS 18 or buying a newer Android phone >Android 5.0 will become RCS reachable.
And don′t forget about the non-smartphone user, due to Statista another 14.8m mobile user in Germany, that you can reach via SMS to cover those too. Same as with all non-RCS smartphones. SMS ist the universal fallback to every MSISDN if you target 100% reach.
Plain text, text with link, link to a website or RCS -like webview, whatever the fallback will be.
