What are the screening methods for Android RCS system? Compatible with mobile phone brand and version differences

With Carrier Information Services (With the gradual advancement of RCS (RCS) on a global scale, more and more companies hope to reach high-quality user groups through RCS channels. Compared with traditional text messages, RCS has the advantages of rich media display, read receipts, conversational interaction, etc., and is a major entrance to modern marketing. However, not all users’ mobile phones have the conditions for Android devices that can truly enable RCS functions, which puts higher requirements on RCS system screening.

This article will start fromStarting from RCS screening needs, we comprehensively dismantle key points such as the Android RCS system screening method, the impact of device and system differences, and how to batch identify high-availability account types to help enterprises build a more accessible and efficient private domain pool.

1. Why is RCS screening becoming more and more important?

Enterprises want to passRCS realizes marketing, push, and service automation. The premise is that the target user's mobile phone supports RCS, the system version meets the requirements, and the function has been turned on.

Especially as SMS marketing costs rise,In the context of the decline in the push notification open rate, RCS's high open rate, ability to display pictures and texts, and strong interactivity have become a new channel for many brands to test the waters. However, if no screening is done in the early stage, on the one hand, the content delivery rate will be low, and on the other hand, it is likely to reach users who cannot receive RCS, which will waste resources.

2. Three core parameters that need attention when selecting RCS systems

Among Android users, is it supported?RCS is mainly affected by the following three items:

Equipment brand and model

Not supported by all Android devicesRCS. For example, although some early models of Xiaomi and Huawei are based on Android, it is difficult to enable the RCS function because they do not integrate the Google service framework. Most models such as Google Pixel, Samsung, and Motorola have built-in support.

System version number

usually requiredOnly Android 9.0 and above systems, the latest version of the Google Messages application installed, and the latest patch status can use the RCS service stably.

Operators and network environment

Operators in some countries and regions are not fully openRCS protocol, or different operators have different levels of support. Therefore, even if the device is supported and the system version is appropriate, the network where the user is located must also be considered.

The complexity of these three dimensions makes manual detectionWhether the RCS function is turned on or not has become impractical, and batch screening tools have become a necessity.

3. Common methods for Android RCS screening

Method one:API interface batch detection

by batchThe API interface inputs the target mobile phone number and can return whether the RCS function is enabled for the number, the terminal device model, the system version number, etc. It is suitable for operators, marketing teams, SaaS service providers, etc. with large data scale.

Method 2: Preliminary screening of equipment model and system matching library

Provided by some platformsThe "device model + system version" matching database can be used to conduct a static preliminary screening to quickly eliminate users of lower versions and non-GMS models that are unlikely to support RCS.

Method three:RCS activation status detection port

Through operator layer detection method, detectRCS activation status or Google server RCS connectivity capability. This method is suitable for telecom operators and large service platforms, and the operation is more professional.

4. Interpretation of differences in filtering and adaptation between Android brands

Different Android brands inThere are significant differences in RCS support capabilities:

lSamsung: The most complete support, covering mid-to-high-end models, and high frequency of system updates;

lGoogle Pixel:Official demonstration model,RCS has the best experience;

lOPPO/vivo/realme: Models have been gradually supported in the past two years, but some customized systems need to be turned on manually;

lMillet: Some models are not integratedGMS, resulting in limited RCS function;

lHuawei: Due to disconnectionIn the Google ecosystem, the RCS function is basically unavailable.

Therefore, when doing batch screening, in addition to judging whether it is Android, you must also do hierarchical screening based on the brand and system update rhythm.

5. RCS filtering strategy adapted to push and SMS scenarios

Enterprises are usingWhen RCS is reaching out, it is recommended to filter targets according to the following strategies:

lHigh user activation rate+ Mobile phone supports RCS + Good network environment: Priority inclusionRCS push whitelist;

lUnknown brand and model+ System lower than Android 9: It is recommended to eliminate or switch to traditional SMS channels;

lKnown high value customers+ RCS is not enabled: Can be pushed to guide users to start tutorials to improve subsequent interaction capabilities.

Through this kind of scenario-based screening method, companies can reduce push costs and improve interaction quality.
