Apple announced that RCS is finally coming to iPhones with the release of iOS 18 on all supported devices. With the launch of RCS, there will be an improved messaging experience between iPhone and Android users. Today, Google released a video confirming that RCS is coming to the iPhones.
The video is posted on the Android official YouTube channel and it says, “Rich Communication Services is finally coming to iPhone.” The video mentioned three key features that will improve the text messaging between the two mobile operating systems. Also, there are more features and options in development which will be rolled out soon.
The key features that are mentioned in the video are:
- No more blur between Android and iPhones: Higher-resolution images and videos given a cloud backend
- No more broken group chats: Ability to leave group chats
- Read receipts and typing indicators: Can be disabled
“Better photos, videos, group chats messaging for everyone with RCS” is the ending tagline for this 30-second ad aimed at Android users.
The iOS 18 will launch in this fall (around September). Those users who have already enrolled themselves in the iOS 18 beta can use the RCS on their devices.
