There is a discrepancy in reports regarding the timeline for the implementation of RCS messaging on iPhones.
Apple Inc. has announced plans to support Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging on iPhones. RCS is a messaging standard used by most Android phones, and its adoption by Apple is expected to improve interoperability between iPhone and Android devices. This move will enable features such as read receipts, typing indicators, and the ability to send high-resolution images and videos when texting between iPhone and Android devices.
However, there is a discrepancy in the timeline for the implementation of this feature. According to a report by Livemint, Apple stated that they will add support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as per the GSM Association, next year. On the other hand, reports from Newswire and Business Today indicate that iPhones will support RCS messaging in 2024.
In addition to the RCS support, Apple has extended free access to its Emergency SOS via satellite service for iPhone 14 users for an additional year. This information was uniquely reported by Livemint. The color coding for RCS messages and iMessages will also be different, with RCS messages expected to be displayed in green, differentiating them from iMessages, which are displayed in blue.
Apple has announced that it will support Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging on iPhones by 2024. This contradicts the Livemint article which states that Apple will add support for RCS next year.
