iPhones will support the RCS messaging protocol in 2024.

According to The Verge , Apple spokesperson Jacqueline Roy stated in a press release that the company will support the RCS Universal Profile, a standard recently announced by the GSM Association. The company believes the RCS Universal Profile will offer better interoperability compared to SMS or MMS. Along with iMessage, it will provide the best and most secure messaging experience for Apple users.

RCS messaging will soon be supported on iPhone, but it's still only showing green bubbles.

iPhones with RCS could enable support for encryption, receipt reading, typing indicators, high-resolution images and videos ... when sending text messages between iPhone and Android devices. However, Apple has confirmed that it will allow users to share location within text threads, and RCS messages will be green, similar to current SMS messages.

It's still unclear exactly how the RCS messaging feature on iPhone will work, but 9to5Mac reports that this isn't Apple opening iMessage to other platforms. Instead, RCS will replace SMS and MMS, and will exist separately from iMessage when available.

This change is likely a response from Apple to legal pressure from the European Union's (EU) Digital Markets Act (DMA), a rule requiring large companies, such as Apple, to make their services interoperable with other platforms. In September, the European Commission (EC) opened an investigation into iMessage to determine whether it should be considered a "core platform service." However, Apple argues that iMessage is not popular enough in Europe to qualify for the rules and plans to appeal the App Store regulation.

Companies like Google and Samsung have long pushed Apple to add RCS support through various campaigns. Google, for example, sent a letter to the European Commission earlier this month arguing that iMessage should be considered a core platform service under DMA.
