RCS is Rich Communications Services. It's a messaging protocol used by Google Messages, in addition to SMS/MMS. Most US carriers support RCS.

You can only edit messages within a short time of sending them (something like 30 seconds). Both parties in the chat must be using RCS.

I believe there's a furthermore to your statement too. I believe once the text has been opened by the recipient it can no longer be edited regardless of how short the time from when it was received.
