RCS texting is now available on iPhone in iOS 18 beta 2… sort of
It's happening; iOS 18 will bring RCS support to the iPhone, the one feature that some Android users have been dying to get. Well, they wouldn't get anything other than the ability to enjoy somewhat richer texting experiences with family and friends who own iPhones.
However, this isn't Google's version of RCS. It's the carrier standard, so don't expect the same feature compatibility. One big difference will be the lack of end-to-end encryption for RCS messages between iPhone and Android.
That said, you might be able to test RCS on iPhone right now, several months before Apple rolls out the first stable version of iOS 18, assuming the stars are aligned in a particular order.
