Features of RCS chats include displaying when someone is typing and providing read receipts, indicating when a message has been read or received. Users with RCS can send messages over mobile data and Wi-Fi, share files, and transmit high-resolution photos. When using RCS chats, your messages are sent via the Rich Communication Services. RCS is available on Android devices.

Here are the steps to initiate Rich Communication Services:

• Open Messages on your device
• Click on ‘Get Started’ followed by ‘Next’
• Tap ‘Yes’ to maintain Messages connected

To activate or deactivate RCS chats, follow these steps:

• Open Messages on your device
• Tap on your profile picture or icon at the top right, followed by ‘Messages settings’
• Click on ‘RCS chats’
• Toggle RCS chats on or off as desired

To verify your status on Messages, navigate to ‘Settings’ and then ‘RCS chats’. Here are some of the potential statuses you may see:

Connected: Indicates that RCS chats are enabled and can be used with others who have them activated.

Setting up: Messages authenticate your phone number. If verification takes over a few minutes, tap ‘Retry’ next to the status.

Disconnected: RCS chats are temporarily unavailable. Ensure that you are connected to the internet.

In conclusion, it’s worth noting that Google’s RCS chats feature in the Messages app may not be available universally across all countries or regions. Google continues to work on extending RCS chats to more regions and other messaging apps, such as Samsung Messages.

Google revealed that the new chatbot, tailored for coding assistance and the capacity to generate code through natural language, is powered by Codey, an AI model focused on coding and built on the foundation of PaLM 2.

In the early stages, Codey models will only be accessible to users in the US within Colab. Google’s initial feature rollout will primarily emphasize code generation, intending to improve coding speed, accuracy, and understanding substantially. Moreover, this development will eradicate the need to input identical code repeatedly. Once the feature is live, qualifying Colab users will see a ‘Generate’ button and a text prompt box.

In addition to this, Google plans to bring a new chatbot to Colab shortly. Although the exact timeline remains undisclosed, it is expected to launch in the near future. The forthcoming chatbot is poised to support both novices and experts by addressing basic queries such as importing data from Google Sheets and filtering a Pandas DataFrame, thereby enriching the overall AI interaction.

Notably, users no longer need to construct code on Google’s chatbot and subsequently transfer it to Colab. Nonetheless, Google may utilize any code produced via chatbot prompts for model improvement purposes.

Further enhancing the experience for Colab’s “eligible” premium subscribers will be an autocomplete feature. It will propose code as users type, saving time and minimizing keystrokes, especially when handling extensive lines of code.

Google stated that these new features will be gradually rolled out in the coming months, beginning with paid users in the US. Google’s roadmap includes plans to expand these functionalities to other regions, and free Colab subscribers will also gain access at a later stage.
