Google Confirms that RCS is Coming iPhones this Fall
Mar. 29, 2024This meanswe canexpect RCS integration on iPhones with the upcoming iOS 18update. That’s because the fall is generally when Apple announces major updates to their devices including the iPhone. But we may not have to wait that long as beta versions of the upcoming iOS update may roll out much earlier.
I am sure that Apple would make a big deal about it. RCS Universal Profile offers abetter chatting experience, and some interesting features. It also adds a layer of privacy that is lacking in the standard SMS system.
Most other features discussed on the webpage, like Emoji Reactions, Photomoji, and Voice Moods will be exclusively available through the Google Messages app. This will make iteasier for iPhone users to easily communicate with their non-iPhone friendson the other side of Apple’s walled garden.
Note that Apple has made it clear that this will not resolve the blue bubble green bubble issue. That is because RCS messages will still show up as green chats. But at least it is a step in the right direction. It seems Google is excited about the same which is why it is going full throttle to promote RCS and its messaging app.
