• Users report that dual-SIM RCS features have been spotted in Google Messages with the latest beta update.
• The feature has been spotted twice before, but Google stopped the rollout for reasons unknown.

Google Messages has become the torchbearer for RCS messaging on Android, so it’s fair to expect the app to pack some key features. Users have been demanding dual-SIM RCS features for a while now, and Google seems to be working on it too. Dual-SIM RCS was spotted on Google Message early this year, but Google didn’t roll it out widely. It appeared once again in August, but again, Google didn’t roll it out widely. Now, the feature has landed once again, and we hope third time’s the charm.

Reddit user meter1060 spotted that RCS was working on both their SIMs in the latest Google Messages beta, specifically v20241018, in Canada. Another user, NadeemAltaf, also got it working on their device in Pakistan on the same beta.
