iPhone Likely to Receive RCS Support This Fall, Hints Google…

In a recent development that has sent waves of anticipation through the tech community, Google has dropped a hint suggesting that iPhone may soon support Rich Communication Services (RCS). This revelation comes courtesy of Google’s new Google Messages webpage, which states that RCS support is “Coming soon on iOS.”

Apple’s decision to embrace RCS within iMessage of an iPhone was announced last year, with a slated release sometime in 2024. While Apple has remained tight-lipped about the exact launch date, Google’s subtle hint on its Messages webpage has sparked speculation that RCS support for iPhones could arrive as early as this fall, possibly coinciding with the release of the iOS 18 update or the launch of the iPhone 16 series.

The integration of RCS by Apple is expected to streamline cross-device messaging and enhance the overall user experience.

The unveiling of a new landing page for Google Messages on the official Android website has shed further light on the matter. This page, which has since been removed, included a dedicated section for RCS, indicating that support for iPhones is slated for the fall of 2024.

As reported by 9to5Google, the page prominently displayed astating “Coming soon on iOS” beneath the subheading “Better messaging for all.” The description accompanying this section emphasized the imminent arrival of RCS support on iPhones and the resulting enhancement of the messaging experience for users across all platforms.

Speculation regarding the potential inclusion of RCS support in iOS 18 has gained traction, given Apple’s historical pattern of releasing major updates in September, typically coinciding with the launch of new iPhone models.

Apple had previously disclosed its plans to introduce support for RCS during November of the previous year, with a projected rollout scheduled for 2024. The incorporation of the new RCS standard into iMessage is anticipated to introduce a host of advanced messaging features, including multimedia support, read receipts, typing indicators, and more. This pivotal development will facilitate seamless cross-platform messaging between Android and iOS devices, whether connected via mobile data or Wi-Fi networks.

As the tech world eagerly awaits further updates from Apple regarding RCS support for iPhones, the impending integration of this innovative messaging standard promises to redefine the way users communicate across diverse devices and platforms. With the potential for enhanced functionality and interoperability, the introduction of RCS support on iPhones heralds a new era of unified messaging experiences for millions of users worldwide.
