It finally looks like the RCS (Rich Communication Service) battle will see its end as Apple has hinted that starting in 2024, iPhones will start supporting RCS. While this is a great update for users across the world, it does raise a lot of questions. But, first, let’s talk about what it actually means for everyone if this change is brought into effect.
Firstly, the gap between iPhone-to-iPhone and iPhone-to-Android messaging will be erased. Basically, if your contact uses an Android device and he/she sends you a message on your iPhone, they will be afforded the same features that iMessage users have, like read receipts, high-quality media sharing, group messaging, and even location sharing within the messenger.
