Is the iPhone's isolation about to end? RCS could be coming soon, Google suggests

Apple might soon begin to support Rich Communication Services (RCS) in its iMessage platform, potentially by the middle of 2024. Google has hinted at a possible launch timeline for RCS on iOS through its Google Messages webpage.

The proposal by Apple to include Rich Communication Services (RCS) in iMessage by 2024 is making progress. This was confirmed by Google, who hinted at a possible launch schedule for RCS on iOS through its Google Messages webpage.

Apple has yet to confirm a specific release date for RCS support, but according to Google's latest announcement, the feature could be introduced with the iOS 18 update or alongside the launch of the iPhone 16 series. Apple's introduction of RCS is expected to promote consistent messaging across different devices.

The launch of a fresh landing page for Google Messages on the official Android site highlights the growth of RCS capabilities. Even though the page has been taken down, sources suggest it referenced RCS support arriving for iOS in the fall of 2024.

9to5Google noted that the homepage showed a portion named "Coming soon on iOS" under the subcategory "Better messaging for all." The details emphasized Apple's dedication to incorporating RCS, assuring an improved messaging experience for users.

Should Apple truly target a Fall 2024 launch for RCS support, it would coincide with their usual schedule for significant iOS updates, which are frequently introduced in September concurrent with new iPhone launches.

In the previous year's November, Apple shared its plan to incorporate RCS support by the year 2024, but did not specify an exact schedule. The expected combination of RCS and iMessage is set to bring multiple messaging features, including multimedia support, read receipts, typing signals, and others. This initiative will ease the process of cross-platform messaging between Android and iOS devices over mobile data or Wi-Fi connections.
