Google’s Rich Communication Service (RCS) has been gaining traction in the messaging world, but its adoption was slow due to carrier support issues. However, with the release of iOS 18 and the latest iOS 18.4 beta, RCS is now enabled on iPhones, bringing better communication between Android and Apple devices.
RCS chat is a text-based messaging protocol that enables secure and feature-rich messaging between users. With RCS, you can expect improved security, better integration with third-party apps, and new ways to communicate.
While this is great news for iPhone users, there’s a catch: the iOS 18.4 beta requires downloading to enable RCS. Additionally, Google Fi members still wait to see RCS on their iPhones.
However, with the latest development, RCS is now live for MVNOs operating on T-Mobile using the iOS 18.4 beta. This marks a significant step forward for Google’s messaging service.
To try out RCS chat, download Google Messages and enable it. As Google continues to push the standard further, you can expect even more improvements in the future.
