According to news on June 26, Apple released the iOS18 Beta2 update yesterday, adding RCS-related setting options, but it has not yet taken effect. Today, based on feedback from many iPhone users, Apple has opened this usefulfunction in the United States.
The iOS18 Beta2 released yesterday added RCS related options in the settings. Users can switch to enable support for RCS information. However, it has not yet taken effect after the user switched yesterday, and RCS information cannot be displayed normally. According to feedback from many iPhone users, RCS messages can already be sent to Android users using the networks of multiple US telecom operators, including AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Text messages that are based on RCS rather than SMS/MMS will be represented by the RCS tag.
RCS or Rich Communication Service allows iPhone and Android users to exchange higher quality photos and videos, audio messages and larger file sizes. In addition, features such as read receipts and real-time typing indicators are also supported. A complete list of the features is attached below:
- Supports higher resolution photos and videos
- Supports sharing of larger files
- Audio messages
- Cross-platform emoji reactions
- Live typing indicator
- Read receipts
Messages can be sent via mobile or Wi-Fi (SMS messages can only be sent via mobile). There is no fee to send RCS messages over Wi-Fi. Improved group chat.
Apple iOS18 Beta2 turns on the RCS option by default and will be launched to the public this fall. RCS is called 5G News in China. Checking Weibo, no domestic users have left any feedback. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Strengthening Terminal Network Collaboration to Support the Scale Development of 5G Messages" (Draft for Comments) on July 19 last year, which plans to stipulate that 5G mobile phones that newly apply for network access licenses must support 5G messages. 5G messaging is a rich media information service based on mobile communication networks, involving the basic telecommunications business of "cellular mobile communications". Promoting the innovative development and large-scale application of 5G messaging is of great significance to enriching 5G application scenarios and service supply and promoting the high-quality development of the digital economy.
We welcome iPhone users who have upgraded to iOS18 to leave feedback and let us know whether we have also initially supported "5G messaging" and can exchange messages with Android phones.
