Samsung Electronics today confirmed that they’ve been accredited with the joyn Blackbird certification from Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA). Such accreditation is first for any smartphone manufacturer that ensures users to enjoy Rich Communications Services (RCS)-based services like chat, video and file sharing efficiently.
Some of the joyn Blackbird features include:
– Video Share and Image Share functionalities allowing users to switch to a video call or share pictures during a voice call
– Capability Discovery for verification of whether a user can utilize joyn and what services a user can utilize at the moment
– Fully Integrated Messaging incorporating joyn onto existing SMS/MMS apps as well as SMS/MMS conversion when a joyn participant is not available
– File transfer support during 1-to-1 chatting or group chatting, with non joyn users receiving an SMS for download.
Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S4 will gain support for joyn Blackbird services by end of this year in Germany and Spain, followed by France, UK and Italy.
