Here’s When RCS Support Coming To iPhone

The prolonged dispute between Apple and Google over a unified messaging platform is reaching its conclusion. Last November, Apple officially announced plans to introduce RCS compatibility on iPhones by 2024, allowing for smooth communication between iOS and Android devices. However, the exact timeline for when this feature would be implemented by Apple remained unknown until recently.

Upon discovering the new Google messages webpage, 9to5Google uncovered some intriguing information regarding the timeline for the implementation of RCS on iPhone. The webpage highlights the advantages of RCS and its impact on messaging. Although the hint has since been removed from the page, the anticipated timeframe for RCS’s availability on iPhone has already been revealed.

According to the report by 9to5google, the RCS feature is expected to arrive on iPhone in the upcoming Fall season. This indicates that it may be included in either the iOS 18 or iOS 18.1 update. However, the availability for the general public will be after its release in a beta version of iOS 18.

Despite the adoption of RCS, the blue bubble and green bubble will continue to exist, but communication with Android phones will become effortless. RCS is a secure and enhanced form of text messaging that closely resembles popular social messaging apps, offering all the essential features such as media sharing, message reactions, stickers, emojis, group chats, and more.

The dates for Apple’s upcoming WWDC event have been revealed. It is anticipated that Apple will discuss RCS, should it be released alongside iOS 18. The event is scheduled to commence on June 10, so we won’t have to wait much longer to hear directly from Apple. Meanwhile, you can download WWDC 2024 Wallpapers for your Phone and Desktop to enjoy.

The inclusion of RCS compatibility on iPhone is highly necessary as it allows for easier communication between iOS and Android users without having to resort to third party messaging applications. However, this implementation alone will not put an end to phone discrimination.
