Airtel and Google Launch Secure RCS

Bharti Airtel and Google announced a collaboration to provide secure Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging in India. The initiative aims to enhance user safety while offering high-quality messaging features for millions.

The partnership combines Airtel’s network intelligence with Google’s RCS platform and spam filtering. Users can send messages with photos, videos, reactions, and interactive elements while benefiting from protection against mobile spam and digital fraud.

How it will work

The platform will validate business message senders using telco-backed identity checks. It will respect DND preferences, block spam messages, filter malicious domains, and throttle flagged senders through AI-powered real-time checks.

Brands using the platform can distinguish legitimate messages from spam. This will help protect customers and enable safer communication, fostering trust and deeper engagement for enterprise messaging across India.

Airtel has blocked 71 billion spam calls and 2.9 billion spam SMSes in the past 1.5 years. The collaboration with Google extends these protections to modern messaging platforms.
