iOS 18, set to launch this fall, brings major improvements such as Apple Intelligence and new customization tools. One of the biggest changes is the addition of RCS support in the Messages app, allowing for better messaging between iPhones and Androids. RCS, or Rich Communication Services, is a newer, more advanced version of SMS and MMS that offers features like reactions, higher quality media sharing, read receipts, and more. With RCS support in iOS 18, conversations with Android users will be more reliable and feature-rich. While iMessage will still use blue bubbles for conversations within the Apple ecosystem, RCS will be the new fallback for messaging between iPhones and Androids. This change will make communication between different platforms seamless and enjoyable for users. If you're interested in trying out RCS support, it is currently available in the iOS 18 beta for select US carriers. Be prepared for potential changes and updates as the beta progresses.
