RCS is Finally Rolling Out to iOS 18 Beta Testers in the United States

I CANNOT WAIT! @SnazzyLabs converted me to Mac many years ago, but RCS would convert me full time to iOS *easily.* I need it to communicate with some older members of my family without Wi-Fi calling but who have Google Messages, so this is amazing to me. It’s about damn time! https://t.co/fvF7guetcn

Snazzy Labs has RCS working on his iPhone running Developer Beta 2. See my comments in the Quote Tweet above!

It’s important to note that this feature is only working in the US on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile right now. All three carriers use Google Jibe to facilitate this new communication method, similar to Google Messages. However, because Apple Messages uses the Universal Profile, RCS on iOS does not support end-to-end encryption.
