Google: Apple will introduce RCS support to iPhone this fall

According to news on March 29, Google recently updated its Android page. While introducing the official SMS experience, it stated that Apple will provide RCS support for iPhone this fall.

In describing the advantages of RCS (high-resolution photos/videos, typing indicators and better group chat experience), Google mentioned that iOS devices will soon support RCS. The translated part is as follows:

Apple has announced that it will adopt RCS in the fall of 2024. Once implemented, this will mean a better information experience for everyone.

An Apple spokesperson confirmed to TechRadar and 9to5Mac in November 2023 that it will adapt to support the Rich Communication Services/Converged Communications (RCS) standard next year. Apple’s statement reads:

Later next year, we will add support for the RCS common profile, a standard currently published by the GSM Association. We believe that the RCS universal profile will provide a better interoperability experience compared to SMS or MMS. We believe that RCS and iMessage, used together, will continue to provide Apple users with the best and most secure messaging experience.

Note: After iPhone supports RCS, RCS messages will still be displayed as green bubbles, while iMessage will be displayed in blue for differentiation.
