No more enclosed ecosystem for iPhone? RCS might be available soon, Google gives significant clue

Apple could eventually begin adopting Rich Communication Services (RCS) on iMessage in the near future, potentially around mid-2024. Google has hinted at a probable launch schedule for RCS on iOS through its Google Messages webpage.

Apple's strategy to integrate Rich Communication Services (RCS) into iMessage by 2024 is progressing well. Google has hinted at a possible launch schedule for RCS on iOS through its Google Messages webpage.

Apple has not yet provided a specific release date for RCS support, but recent information from Google indicates it could be introduced with the iOS 18 update or alongside the launch of the iPhone 16 series. It is expected that Apple's adoption of RCS will promote consistent messaging across various devices.

The introduction of a fresh landing page for Google Messages on the official Android site highlights the growth of RCS functions. While the page has been taken down, it is reported to have indicated that RCS support will be available for iOS in autumn 2024.

9to5Google noticed that the homepage showcased a part titled "Coming soon on iOS" beneath the subtitle “Better messaging for all.” This section emphasized Apple's pledge to implement RCS, assuring an improved messaging interface for users.

Should Apple truly target a fall 2024 launch for RCS support, it would coincide with the usual schedule for significant iOS updates, which are frequently released in September simultaneously with new iPhone launches.

Last year in November, Apple revealed plans to include RCS support by 2024, however, a specific schedule wasn't shared. The plan is to combine RCS with iMessage, which will likely bring about several new messaging features like support for multimedia, read receipts, typing signals, among others. This change will make it easier for Android and iOS devices to exchange messages over mobile data or Wi-Fi connections.
