Google Messages Gets Ready for Native Video Calling

Google Messages may soon be getting RCS video calling capabilities, according to recent updates. The feature would allow users to make native video calls within the app, rather than being pushed to Google Meet.

The update references several strings related to RCS video calls, including 'rcs_video_bottom_sheet_call_button' and 'Ignoring RCS video call request: no RcsVideoController is bound.'

It's not clear when this feature will be rolled out, but the update suggests that it could be available soon. The article also mentions the possibility of cross-platform video calling between Android and iPhone devices.
