Apple confirmed during the WWDC 2024 main keynote what many people had suspected: iOS 18 will bring official RCS support to the iPhone. Many Android users have wanted this feature for years, which is why Google and other rivals have been running massive ad campaigns against Apple.
Apple didn’t say when it’ll enable RCS on iPhone. Most people running iOS 18 beta 1 did not see RCS support in the Messages app. I installed iOS 18 as soon as it came out, and my text messages to non-iPhone users are still marked as SMS. Interestingly, however, some users have found a...

This week, Apple finally added support for Rich Communication Services (RCS) to Messages as part of the second developer beta of iOS 18. Until now, iPhone users could only send SMS or MMS messages from the Messages app to people who didn’t have an Apple device.

Apple finally supports RCS in iOS 18 update

The next iPhones are expected to debut in roughly three months -- but this upgrade cycle feels different from before.

Now the biggest software tricks that everyone is buzzing about will require the new hardware.
